Michael's place is what Airbnb used to be and should always be. The location is unbeatable in central London- literally less than two minutes walking from the Covent Garden station (Piccadilly line, which comes direct from Heathrow). The neighborhood is chock full of stores and restaurants of all genres, and it's a short walk to many of the sights on your to do list. It felt safe at all times of the day and night. The place itself is perfect for the solo traveller, perfect size with plenty of storage room and spotlessly clean throughout. The shared bathroom was never a problem in terms of access, toiletries were provided, and towels and linens a touch above common. Michael is the host Airbnb would put in its advertising. Communication was prompt and more efficient with useful information than any other Airbnb where I've stayed. He provides useful tips about local restaurants, pubs, etc. and several thoughtful touches above and beyond expectations (fresh fruit and water in the room, turning the heat on so no chill if arriving back late night, coffee, tea, etc.). Check in and check out were a breeze, and he was thorough in explaining everything you'd want and need to know. Early/late luggage storage is also a bonus. And all this comes at an unbeatable price point/value! The length of this review reflects my enthusiasm about this without reservation recommendation. If you find Michael's place available for your time in London grab it and save yourself some time looking at other options.
