Paul's house was completely fine. Great beds, spacious common areas/kitchen, and easy check in. In fact, he allowed me to check in early as I had an early flight. The kitchen was well equipped and his assistants even served free dinner (soup) one night. The Airbnb houses at least 15 guests, however, this was no issue as there were three bathrooms and the other guests were nice and quiet. Overall, a good alternative to a hostel (and for me at least 30 pounds cheaper than a hostel per night).
However, one thing that did not sit well with me. Paul has a couple assistant's (young internationals) who I presume stay there free of charge in return for checking guests in and perhaps cleaning. On theory a fine exchange. However, these young people had to sleep on couches in the common area and thus had no private space. They packed up their bedding before everyone got up and didn't go to sleep untill after 11pm where most guests had gone to bed. Although this is probably legal, I feel like this concept does take advantage of youngsters, which I do not approve of.
