Mandy is a great host with a superb communication and she was very helpful. She even went the extra mile to help me with a personal problem.
This place is exactly as it is described and seen in the photos, nothing less nothing more. There is almost everything you need in a home which is incredible considering how tight this room is. The room is seperated by a door as the kitchen and sleeping area. The place is really tight, I don't think that 2 people (even if one of them is a child) can fit in BUT if you are a single person look for a temporary accommodation this place would suit you, even better in summer because you could use the garden as well. To describe even further, there is a kitchen and all the utensils but you need to move things away to cook / chop, there is a shower but you can't open your arms these things become a bit frustrating IF you stay for a long time like I did. Again, these wouldn't be a problem for short stays. Location is not central but this shouldn't be a problem because it is clearly mentioned and it is on a major public transport line to take you anywhere. There is also no washing machine so you are advised to use the laundrette which is like 1min walking distance, I didn't use it. But there is an iron & small ironing table. There is also a very small table (fits a laptop and a plate) and a chair which is not suitable for video conference / long office work but you could try to work like that. Don't get me wrong, I just tried to describe it as it is, it is still a good place.
The pros are, you get a place just for yourself without needing anything else with a great host. They provided various foods to help settling in the first couple of days, which was great considering I had to self-isolate. They are very keen on cleaning, the place was clean when I arrived and they provide seperate towels and changed my sheets mid-stay so you don't have to worry about those as well.
The problem is I don't think that you could find any place which is self-contained and for this price, don't get me wrong it is not cheap, you have to pay the London premium for this accommodation as anything you do in London.
I gave the place overall 4/5, this could be higher if it was a bit larger to accommodate a normal chair & table and maybe a larger cooking area. But if the host was someone else who is not as good as Mandy, my rating would probably be lower.
