It’s the accommodation website which has changed he way we holiday.
Airbnb has gained the reputation of being the holiday booking site with a difference.
It means goodbye soulless, expensive, ubiquitous hotel rooms, and hello to living in the shoes of a local.
Airbnb allows everyday homes and properties to be listed for hire, meaning those renting it - often holidaymakers - get to sample home comforts away from home, and get to enjoy their location in a way which just wouldn’t be possible from a hotel room.
There’s no shortage of Airbnb options in west London, so here’s a look at the stunning, the beautiful, the homely, and the quirky.

More than just a tent
Ok, this one isn’t quite west London, but I had to include it on our list just because of the quirkiness factor.

It’s warm, spacious and comes with a small fridge, kettle and toaster.
Lack of cooking facilities are made up for by the fact that a simple breakfast is provided, as is tea and coffee.
