Malaika and her father were very nice and helpful. When I got there, there was no water in the shower, but after I called Malaika's father, he came over and fixed the problem. He even gave me an ironing board and an iron from his laundromat, which is across the street, and he let me check out late, because my flight back home was in the evening. Thanks, Malaika!
The only problem is noise pollution. Malaika's studio is close to Heathrow Airport, and I heard aircraft taking off and landing, which was a bit disturbing, especially at night.
