Our stay was for 16 nights and the overall experience is incredible for us.
Host
Our host, Lirie, is super attentive and thoughtful - she waited and received us at Hammersmith tube which was unexpected and we were truly grateful for that as we don’t have to risk losing our way with our heavy luggages! Excellent communication as Lirie usually responds fast and made sure we were safe and good.
Location
The apartment is about 8-10 minutes walk from Hammersmith Station (direct line from Heathrow Airport). If you are taking District line, Ravenscourt Park station is closer (just 6min walk away). There are also many buses around the area (tip: take bus 72 or bus 220 to Westfield London for all your shopping and take bus 110 if you are visiting Kew Gardens). We particularly enjoy shopping at the Primark outlet at Kings Mall!
Apartment
The house is very well equipped - hair dryer, tv, dishwasher, stove, oven, washing machine, dryer, vacuum cleaner, iron and it’s super convenient with two separate toilets. Bath towels, dishwashing tablets, washing powder, soap and shampoo were all provided. The house is not air conditioned but portable fans were provided. The fans were good enough as most nights are comfortable and cooling even during summers.
Food and groceries
Kitchen is well stocked if you are planning to cook (e.g. bread, milk, butter, coffee, tea, oil). We bought a lot of fresh produce from nearby supermarkets (i.e. Mark and Spencer, Lidl and Sainsburys). Plenty of food options along Kings Street if you plan to eat out (tip: visit ‘Eat Tokyo’ if you enjoy japanese cuisine and visit ‘Yoshi Sushi’ for classic korean / japanese fare).
I have been to many airbnbs in many countries and this is certainly one of the best - the host is so thoughtful and provided everything you might need during the stay. If you are reading this and considering a homely stay, this is the one not to be missed!
