MD was a great host, I’m quite a private person which he respects. House is in a fairly good location in terms of links - 10 min walk to Upton Park station.
Cleanliness wasn’t the best, a lot of dust on the floor especially under the bed. Mould in the bathroom.
The biggest issue I found was the noise. I know it’s school hols but kids were running around an screaming up until 1.30am which is not nice when you have to get up for work at 6.
End of the day though it was cheap, so if you don’t mind putting up with the above you’ll be fine.
