If I could give more than five stars, I would.
HOSTS:
Shuna and Mike were truly what made this experience stellar. Shuna was extremely communicative leading up to my stay, helping me figure out the best way to arrive from the airport, and giving me precise updates on where they'd be when. She made it really easy to get into the house! They also have this unique ability to make you feel instantly welcome and comfortable in their space - as if you've known them for ages.
HOUSE/LOCATION:
Oh my oh my oh my. Their house is LOVELY. And I mean, LOVELY! Absolutely exceeded my expectations. Everything was clean and comfortable; the room was adorable and cozy and had a nice window that faced the back so it was quiet. I left the window open at night and got such a nice breeze to fall asleep to. The house is right on the way to the Portobello Market, and is 4 minutes to the closest Tube stop. I loved just wandering around the area (and at all times of the day!)
OTHER:
Small details: Wifi was fast and great! Complete access to kitchen if needed! Towels were provided.
Can I continue gushing? Highly highly recommend experiencing London by staying here!!!
