If you’re looking to be here for more than a week, take earlier reviews with a large grain of salt. Location is fine: West Dulwich train station, bus to Trafalgar Sq (via Brixton) and Tesco all 5-10 minutes away. The walk to the house is nice until you get to the house itself. It seems to be suspiciously dropped on a neighbour’s garden, right next to train tracks. You can hear the trains anywhere in there. The house has been very poorly maintained over the years. Roofer said the patch-up work done after the roof fell through in December isn’t safe and causes flooding. Cleanliness is non-existent: sticky kitchen surfaces, bug infestation, and abandoned items in the cupboards from circa 2005. You can’t walk around without shoes on. Shower water temperature fluctuates between scalding hot and icy cold constantly, and cannot be adjusted. Tell these to the host, and she’ll fuss about how expensive it is (and/or do the bare minimum) to fix it. This is despite making a fortune off of you and other guests and her job. She comes off as friendly at first, and enjoys talking about your background/culture. Some of her “icebreakers” are sneaky requests for you to paint the walls or fix the boiler – you’re paying to live there, so stand your ground. She also cranks up her radio at 6AM, and claims that it turns on automatically at 7. That said, it’s not impossible to make yourself at home, and you have plenty of reasons to leave the house. Two of my housemates never came back, though. Hopefully you’ll have great housemates (I did). Godspeed.
