Praveen's Airbnb is good for large groups, and for the price, it was a great last minute find. However, we found the house not as clean as expected and the furniture not as comfortable as expected. The linens, the towels, and the rooms were clean; but there was mold throughout the bathrooms. The furniture is IKEA and we found most of the furniture to be uncomfortable, especially the mattresses.
As a frequent Airbnb business traveler, I prefer self check-in for the flexibility, however, Praveen insisted on being present for check-in and check-out. To change the temperature on the thermostat, Praveen also insisted that we message him to change the Nest thermostat. He controlled the temperature at all times. Praveen insisted on an announced visit during our stay, but instead of asking our permission as his guests, he just stated that he was going to stop by. Lastly, Praveen asked us to begin the laundry of towels and linen before checking out, which made my group and I question "Isn't that what the cleaning fee go towards?" For these reasons, my group and I felt that we lacked the flexibility and privacy that we would normally expect, and we found Praveen to be a "helicopter host."
The location was a short tube ride away from Central London, which was very nice. We found public transportation near Praveen's Airbnb to be very efficient. In addition, the Airbnb is located near a bunch of Turkish and Halal restaurants.
All in all, I would not stay here again, nor would I recommend it.
