Sam is a very nice host and does try to accommodate requests.
Most of the dishes were dirty and there were ants in the kitchen. The shower curtain wasn't clean and had yellow stains on the bottom along with a couple of dark spots we didn't know what it was. The bottom bed frame was stained what looked like water damage.
We had a bit of difficulty finding the place, but I'm sure it was because we are not familiar with London addresses. Our cab driver and a maintenance worker helped up locate it.
The cable didn't work when we got there so Sam got us a satellite connection that would have been nice, but the guide in it didn't show what was playing. It was very nice that Sam got us the TV connection. The bathroom is small and you can see it in the pictures, but the space on the toilet isn't very much. The blinds do not close all the way so if you don't mind a bit of lack of privacy it will be fine. Using the 5 star rating this would probably be a 2 star.
We were not comfortable staying so we left after only 3 nights of a 7 day stay. He did show us a few other vacant places he had and one of the three would have been ok, but it was way too large.
