Rosemary and the other occupant (I forgot her name, sorry) were both very kind. The location of stay is also quite ideal -- just a couple minutes from the Oval tube station.
However, the stay itself was quite unsanitary. I understand that the place doesn't need to be spotless, but there was literally paint falling off of the walls and ceilings, particularly in the shower. What was more unsettling is that the shower did not drain very quickly, leaving my feet submerged in water until after the shower was done. I also couldn't find clean dishes, nor any clean sponges to wash the dirty dishes. (So, bring a water bottle.)
Perhaps the most unsettling part of the experience for me was the safety. It was heavily stressed when I first arrived to lock the apartment door when entering or leaving because there is apparently a neighbor who has been known to steal things. I was not made aware of this scenario until I arrived to the apartment. If it weren't for the fact that I was only staying two nights, and because the first night I arrived late, then I would have simply left and found a new place.
I understand it's hard to beat the price given the location, but I find it misleading to use outdated photos as well as to withhold information about the stay regarding sanitation and safety.
On the plus side, the bedroom itself was okay (though I wouldn't use the closet), and the bed was pretty comfortable.
Overall, if you're looking for a Barton Fink-esque kind of place to visit, I'd give this a shot.
