Overall I found Maha to be a good host. She was good at communicating and responded to my enquiries quickly and she was generally accommodating. I ended up having to take a later train to London and she arranged for the person handling the flat to meet me an hour later than the arrival time we had agreed on. I must admit though that I was disappointed by the flat. When I arrived there was a strange, damp smell. The apartment also felt humid and damp. The housekeeper told me that it was due to the windows being shuttered too long. I opened the windows every morning to air out the apartment but it didn't seem to help. A few days into my stay I noticed a large patch of what looked to be mould on the kitchen ceiling (hidden above a cupboard) and some discolouration on the wall of the living room. Maha told me that there had been a leak in the apartment and she wanted to leave the patch to dry before painting it over. She assured me that it wasn't mould however in my opinion it did look like mould beginning to form and I really think that she should have taken care of this before renting out her flat on airbnb. I also found the apartment to be dirtier than what I expected: there was some hair and dust on the bathroom floor, dust on the living room floor and the rugs in both the bathroom and the living room looked as though they hadn't been vacuumed in a long time. The bedroom was cleaner. There were also lots of little bugs flying around which was kind of gross. I may be a bit more particular about cleanliness than the average person: I have a sinus problem and am quite sensitive to dust, dirt, mould and humidity. However, I didn't mention these issues to Maha until I saw what I suspected to be mould as I didn't want to make a fuss. Other minor points: the apartment is somewhat dark with not a lot of natural light entering it. Another thing to be aware of is that the Tufnell Park tube station located right next to the flat is closed and the closest one is a good 10-15 minute walk away. I stayed 10 days at the apartment but would not rent it out again. When I complained about the mould Maha kindly offered to reimburse me the remainder of my stay so I could change flats. I declined the offer since I wasn't reimbursed the airbnb service fees and would have to pay for these again if I had booked another flat. In the end, Maha offered me a 50 euros reimbursement which Airbnb matched for the inconvenience. I do appreciate the gesture. However I do think the apartment needs a bit of fixing and cleaning up before being rented out again. All the best, Meryl
