A good location with a lovely and very helpful host, communication was great. The house is warm and on a quiet road with free on road parking. You can’t always find a space right outside but I always found one nearby and Fenella said she is always happy to move her own car for guests if she is parked outside. A short walk to bustling Gloucester Road’s interesting shops, restaurants coffee shops and pubs/bars. I would certainly stay here again.
The room has a desk and chair, an armchair and several lamps. A jug of filtered water was left in the room with a kettle and tea and coffee. The shower was spacious and the water flow strong. Hand sanitiser was available by the front door and in the bathroom.
Everyone is different but I personally found the bed a bit low and hard (it’s around 40cm high, a metal framed folding bed with some wooden slats). As someone else has said already it is also quite squeaky when you get in or adjust your position.
Being next door to the bathroom was handy but the downside was hearing noise from others using it (I was sleeping a bit later than other people in the house and forgot my earplugs). I also heard the person in the room above moving around. So if you are a light sleeper or planning a lie in perhaps bring some earplugs. As mentioned in the details this is a ‘shoes off’ household so consider bringing your slippers.
