Pros,
The place is 5 minutes walk from Cavendish Square which is convenient if you are using public transport and is close to all amenities .
Cons,
If you are not comfortable with animals, don’t book. Naomi has dogs, one of which is a rescue dog so it gets a bit territorial which may ruin your experience as it did mine. This is not her fault but she still is the host and could manage the stay better than she did.
The WiFi became unstable after two days so I spent most of my days so I learnt to rely on other networks.
If you like minimalist decor and facilities like me, reconsider. There were plants and decor elements EVERYWHERE to a point that defeats aesthetic and functionality, the general decor of the house was very cluttered (for me at least) and I can’t settle in a place that cluttered. If you don’t mind maximalist spaces then you’re good. (Don’t confuse cluttered with dirty, the place was just too cluttered with so many things but not dirty).
Responsiveness - On one of the nights when I worked until late, I had to wait outside the gate from 19:00 until around 21:30 because she did not answer her cell and the dogs were restless. In a new city you don’t know, with people starring at you because you’re wandering around someone’s house, that made my experience unbearable to a point where I wish I didn’t stay here.
**Side note - If you like dogs and dogs liked you, and you don’t mind maximalist decor, your experience might have been different and so take my review with a pinch of salt! It is specific to me.
I can’t say stay or don’t because my personal experience makes be biased so I’ll refrain.
