Definitely not my favourite week...
The room itself is as advertised and was clean and spacious.
However...
The room is not clearly advertised as being on the 3rd floor. I'm a small 5ft3 female and immigrated with 4 heavy (20kg + each) suitcases and have a serious back injury. This is a major problem for me. Upon leaving, I had to get these bags down these flights of stairs and the host family did not offer help whatsoever despite seeing me struggle, trip and drop bags multiple times and I was visibly distressed and crying from pain as the Uber outside was hooting.
There are no locks on the doors/it does not close as it has ducktape on it.
The keys given did not work in opening the front door so I had to rely on ringing the doorbell to get in.
This was fine most times except I came back from work one afternoon (exhausted) and rang the bell for 10 minutes to no answer.
Apparently there was someone home they just had headphones on. I had to find somewhere to sit for 2 hours and wait. I got home from work at effectively 8:20pm instead of 6:20pm...
Due to the time period being Ramadan, I was not permitted to make use of the kitchen or boil the kettle to make tea. Even when you could make tea, you had to go up and down 3 flights of stairs each time.
I felt very uncomfortable during my stay and not like a guest but rather like an unwelcome stranger.
There were other problems but I've mentioned enough.
Surraya herself was a lovely host and did her best to make the stay as pleasant as possible. She was great in terms of communicating and was clear on fixing any problems I may have encountered (one related to the shower).
In conclusion,
The room is fine, the host is kind, but the general stay itself was not fine.
An accommodation should have working keys, feel welcoming, have basic kitchen utility and a door that can close/lock.
