Excellent location! Only a 10-15 min walk to West Dulwich train station, and then only 3 stops from there straight to Victoria. Everything about this place would be nearly perfect but unfortunately the overall cleanliness and other things were nearly unacceptable. Shanta was very nice throughout and at one point mentioned that I was ok to use the kitchen. Sadly, I found rats in the kitchen, specifically in the food area. I was shocked. In addition to this, the bedroom and bathroom were quite dirty. I was unable to walk through the house without shoes on as this would almost ruin a clean pair of socks. This caused difficulty because Shanta is such a kind host but I'm just not sure she was fully aware of the situation. I made her aware following my departure so hopefully this will be addressed for the next guest. If these issues were corrected then this would get 5-stars across the board, notably in value for location!
