I stayed for two weeks while starting a new job & flat hunting in the city. This was the perfect base, being quiet, well-located, and warm with a heater provided to quickly heat up the room in the evenings. Mary would check in from time to time to make sure I had everything I needed but otherwise I never saw anyone else in the downstairs area, so it felt very private. I was able to leave all of my large suitcases and bags in the storage area adjacent to the room. While there's no kitchen access included in the listing, Mary does provide downstairs a small fridge, kettle and toaster, so I was able to make a number of my own meals. I was also able to use the washing machine/dryer, and even line-dry some of my clothes in the spring sunshine. If you're looking for a space that feels very nearly self-contained, or a base for a longer stay, this room will be perfect for you.
