Don't do the same mistake I did... Please read carefully my comment below:
*** Cleanliness ***
Good effort for the first few days, then it becomes a nightmare…
- The kitchen is a real mess:
- The sink is always full of cooking wears unwashed
- All the kitchen tools are dirty or broken
- The rubbish bags overflow on the cooking surface
- The bedroom	is not as new as it looks:
- The curtains are burned
- The bed structure is damaged
- The table could be repainted
- The desk is very disgusting (brown stains…)
- The bed sheets are disgusting, they wash the sheets but not the pillows neither the duvet (never seen such things so grey/brown)
- They let their stuff in the bedroom, which are full of dust
The bathroom:
- They use your toilets when you are not in the house, I found multiple times pee on the seat
The common spaces:
- Kids’ toys lay everywhere (in the kitchen, the living room and the corridor)
- They ask you to leave your shoes at the entrance, but what about the others?!
- The iron is very old and had destroyed one shirt (makes dark stains on cloth), do not use it !
PS: if needed I have plenty of photos to prove my previous points.
*** Accuracy ***
Everything in this house is handmade but very bad quality.
The kitchen:
- The washing machine is always full, and the host asks you to wash your cooking wears by yourself (whereas the description says we can use it)
- All the kitchen tools are old or broken
The bedroom:
- The bed moves a lot when you are on it (be careful if you are seasick)
- They let their stuff in the bedroom (toys, books, bags…) which limit a lot the available space for you
- You cannot open the window as it is broken
- “Super fast hyperoptic internet connectivity”: so many disconnections… When you are connected and the kids doesn’t play to their videogame, it works well but every 30 min you are disconnected and sometimes you cannot connect for 1 hour…
- Workspace: the light is very poor, almost impossible to read a book when you are seated at the desk
- Refrigerator: you will have access to only one floor
The bathroom:
- They use your toilets when you are not in the house, I found multiple times pee on the seat
The common spaces:
- The place is very noisy, at any time: the kids play everywhere, even just behind your door and launch the balls in your door… The host use the washing machine at 5am, the neighbors listen loud music until midnight, the air-conditioning in the bedroom is noisy (constant noise)…
*** Communication ***
- Very good for the first few days (probably why the comments of the previous people are goods) then it becomes very bad…
- Strict cancellations rule, be very careful: I had an accident few months ago and I am still learning what I can/cannot do with my damaged body. I didn’t know the elevated bed would be a problem for me and I tried for the first few days. Then I asked to leave the place… She asked me 2,500 pounds to leave the place and she refused 1,700 pounds, as part of the cancellation policy. Sounds like a prison… She doesn’t care at all about your problems, even about your handicap.
- Very difficult: she is very self-centered, always sick and tired, complaining about everything. When you talk about your handicap, she doesn’t care “it’s not her problem”
- They used my umbrella and they took 2 days to bring it back
- They ate my food multiple times and they never though to buy new to replace them (I didn’t ask but told her about it and she laughed a lot…)
*** Location ***
- Good: 50 minutes by bus from Oxford Circus
- Quiet
*** Value ***
- Worst experience in my life
- I compared with my friends, worst quality/price ratio in London
- If you search a little bit more, you will find much better, I promise! Don’t do the mistake I did…
