Hi,
- Very few Airbnb hosts use this forum, & even fewer from the UK. So it's unlikely anyone in Leicester will see this.......
The way to book accommodation on Airbnb is for YOU to join AIRBNB, then YOU use the website to search accommodation in Leicester. Each listing has a map at the bottom, so you can see how far each place is from your Uni. Some hosts will say in their description. Or you can message the host to ask.
Or you could use 'Spare Room', the British lodger finding site. On Spare Room you can post a wanted ad. (You can't on Airbnb, you have to read through all the places in Leicester, & pick one that has it's calendar open for the whole of your dates.)
