Now that we are up and running as a business (thanks to airbnb) I thought it would be a good exercise for us to see how many guests actually leave a review. Sometimes we feel we do everything and more for a guest and even after that they don’t write a review.

What an amazing busy start to 2013. Naturally we were a little nervous about bringing on a new apartment to our profile let alone 3 within 2 months of each other. Whilst it has been a learning curve it has also been great fun and has certainly filled up our days.
There is someone who has made a huge difference to our lives recently and that is Louis. This is our knight in shining armor. He’s our new laundry guy and what a top service he provides; high quality, punctual and great value.
