If you are lucky enough to have Leila approve your booking, you should celebrate! So much more than a regular Air BnB experience staying in her actual home.
From immediately feeling like home, to the complete kitchen and spices et al for those that like to cook (like us), to the neighbourhood grocery stores being so close; settling in is quick and easy.
As for the location, talk about being spoiled for choice! A 2-minute walk puts you on to 3 major bus routes on TfL's brilliant transit system, & a 15-minute walk gives you your choice of 2 subway stations and multiple subway lines to choose from. That said, we also ended up walking to so many places it was unreal! Tower Bridge and everything around it was only a 50-minute walk, plus the massive selection of restaurants in Hoxton and Shoreditch are only a 20 minute walk. Lastly, unlike so many places, the walking felt safe even after midnight. Just a perfect location.
Then there's Leila herself. What a star! Simply the best communication I've ever had with a host.
-Local tips on where to shop for what? Yep
-Attentive and fast replies? Yep!!!
-Detailed answers to questions we had before we could even ask? Yep yep yep!
I've never been truly wowed with an Air BnB place and host before, and nothing even came close to this level before. If I could give 10 stars I would.
Simply fantastic from every possible aspect.
Thank you so much Leila!
