Meet Saad
Hi, I’m Saad and I’m the owner of Pass The Keys® Islington. I live in Canonbury, right by the station, and I’m an experienced Airbnb Superhost myself with over 7 years of hosting experience and a 4.96* rating. Although American and Pakistani by origin, I moved to London 12 years ago as a student at the London School of Economics, fell in love with the city and have lived here since. I was a management consultant with EY for 6 years advising multinational companies on how to become more profitable and serve their customers better before I moved to PTK because I am passionate about providing an excellent guest experience and because it makes sound business sense! I am an extensive world traveller, have lived in 14 countries and travelled to 77 others. I love North London for its feel of a village while being in one of the most diverse and vibrant cities in the world. As I am a local business owner and employ all my staff locally, I have passion and drive to succeed, and the knowledge, expertise and high-quality standards of the well-established Pass the Keys national brand support me. As a business owner and not just an employee, it is personally important for me to have you, my main customer, be happy and successful. The happier and more successful you are, the happier and more successful I am too - we are partners and we succeed together.
