I just checked some of the London neighbourhoods I am familiar with and I have to say that the information is surprisingly accurate. It seems more like an honest guide than a marketing leaflet. For Whitechapel, for example (https://www.airbnb.co.uk/locations/london/whitechapel-brick-...), it accurately shows some of the gritty bits, as well as the hidden gems.
It seems to be mostly written by the community as well. Another step towards AirBnb's vision of making traveling more intimate. I am really curious to see this from a traveler's point of view!
As a traveller (but also someone who works in this space), I am in love with this.
The easy faceted-style navigation to figure out what kind of neighbourhood might suit you is fantastic, but the content once you've gone into that funnel is perfect. It inspires me, throws me into a story about the 'hood, and gets me really excited.
Kudos to the AirBnb team. I really want to go back to New York now..
