As soon I entered their place, Martha and her husband made me feel welcome. Since it was Xmas eve, I also had the privilege to meet her son as well as the son’s partner. They were warm, responsive, and very pleasant to talk to.
As for the place, it wad as described. The room is small but extremely clean. Same with the kitchen. The flush in the bathroom, however, needs an upgrade. The neighbourhood is safe, peaceful, quiet, and walking distance from the bus station (2-3 mins), Tube stations (15-18 mins), as well as Tram stop (4-5 mins).
Overall, this is a budget-friendly accommodation in a safe neighbourhood with a warm and friendly host.
