As a former host I can now see what it’s like on the other side.
Good thing or bad but this does make me more critical.
So let’s start with the positive.
Janusz and Mirka are both warm friendly hosts and make you feel welcomed straight away.
The house is very clean, can’t fault that and always warm too.
I am actually reviewing a bigger room they offered that isn’t advertised.
Upon arrival and seeing my luggage, they offered me the double room at a slightly more but affordable rate.
This was a double room again clean with a small two seater sofa which was very handy
Ample room and storage provided.
However I do think that being a double room it should have a double bed and not a single.
The metal frame was a little creaky but with a comfortable mattress.
I had to use the washing machine during my stay and whilst it seems to be standard across Airbnb now to charge for this ( which I never did when I hosted ) , i do think that a drying facility should be in place.
Not everyone has a tumble dryer but at least have a clothes airer.
I had to hang my clothes in the wardrobe and place over the radiator, which made sleeping in that damp air and detergent smell not very pleasant.
Shower is quite nosey to work but they are used to the pump so didn’t feel guilty of waking them
Bus stop outside house which made journey to nearest tube station easy. Location is on the main road which wasn’t too bad, quiet but does get nosy with traffic in the day.
Text me a couple of times to ask when I was coming home which made me feel like a kid but maybe that’s just their parenting nature.
Overall a pleasant stay with genuine people
