Airbnb & hotel recommendations by<br />
Veronica from Ceneta Insurance Services<br />
London<br />
My rollicking review of my recent rentals!<br />
In my travels in 2016 around Europe and the US, naturally I<br />
stayed at Airbnb properties whenever possible. In stark contrast,<br />
I also stayed in a couple of hotels and it is interesting to compare.<br />
Overall it was a mixed bag of experiences, but they all add to my<br />
hosting arsenal - walking a mile in a guest's shoes is a great<br />
education for a Host!<br />
My best experiences were the Airbnb properties I stayed at in<br />
Vienna & Prague and to be fair, one London hotel.<br />
London: The hotel in question is a German chain<br />
deceptively called Motel One, and I stayed at Tower<br />
Hill. It is a business hotel at the budget end of the<br />
spectrum, but surprisingly well appointed and<br />
fantastic value. The room was stylish & comfortable,<br />
the large foyer was a cosy and inviting area to hang<br />
out on a rainy London night with open fireplaces and<br />
leather chesterfields, and the reception & check<br />
in/out processes were as seamless and efficient as<br />
you would expect a German operation to be. But<br />
there was one thing I was not expecting... They had<br />
the best-looking guests I have ever seen!<br />
Breakfast is served in the open-plan foyer, and what a<br />
feast it was! Being in the heart of the London<br />
financial district, the place was positively teaming<br />
with German bankers. Their impeccably groomed<br />
chiselled profiles, immaculate manners and sartorial<br />
style was enough to make you reconsider the<br />
American Breakfast and send you screaming to<br />
Carnaby Street for an emergency blow-wave and a<br />
wardrobe makeover. Definitely not good for your<br />
self-esteem if you are having a bad hair day, but<br />
enough eye-candy to make you wish you had paid<br />
attention in Economics 101. Dress to impress,<br />
practice your German and don't be late checking out!
