Mixed feelings.
Positive: Debbie is a friendly and responsive host. The place is in a quiet neighbourhood and close to public transport. We were allowed to use the food in the kitchen, which was really helpful. The place has plenty of daylight and a 5th-floor terrace. And the bedsheets were definitely clean.
Negative: after paying the non-refundable booking fee, Debbie messaged me to warn me that a kitchen wall looked ugly due to works, saying “this is reflected in the price”, but really it should have been reflected in the pictures as well. The place was not clean (dirty chairs, couch, floor, bathtub and cutlery). The chairs are squeaky and wobbly. The TV remote is broken (as in: broken in half), so we could only watch Channel 4. The couch is worn down and the pillows are of the “hairy” type, which doesn’t inspire confidence if the place is not clean overall. The bathroom cabinet contained someone’s dental retainers.
The listing has two sets of pictures, the 2nd being more accurate
