1. The house is so far out from the centre of London. 2. The host wd hesitant even to lend me a pen or to allow me to use his washing powder to wash my clothes. He lent me the pen at 8, and then asked for the pen back past 10pm saying he needed it. Then he said he didnt have washing powder and asked me to go out and buy one myself, then on my way out h 'magically' found 1 sachet of washing powder, enphasising that its the last one to make sure I do not ask to wash my laundry again. I was there for 5 days and it was not a pleadant experience.
