We stayed in Katie’s house for 4 nights, Katie is very kind, friendly and welcoming, we got along with Katie well. But there are some fundamental issues with this premises which made us unable to enjoy our stay:
1.	Distance to the train is 0.5 miles or 12 mins walk (refer to P1), instead of 5 mins. When we followed Katie’s suggestion to walk to the train through the hospital which might be a short-cut, it still was solid 10 mins walk. You can’t walk there in 5 minutes by whatever means – the physical distance makes it impossible.
2.	We found this part of Whitechapel to be incredibly dirty and messy (refer to P2-6). The journey from the train station to the house feels like a 3rd world country (refer to P7-8). Luckily we had been to London before and we knew London is actually a lot better than what we saw in Whitechapel, otherwise, the scene in Whitechapel could have ruined our impression to London.
3.	The sound proof in this building was not good. We could hear kids running around upstairs, people walking up and down the stairs, the next-door Airbnb neighbours coughing, showering, switching light on & off, blowing hair dryer, people talking and singing on the street very early in the morning. The wooden stairs were very noisy when people walked on them.
4.	The light proofing is also poor. The lights from downstairs came through the timber floor right into our room (refer to P9-10).
5.	There is no security in the room. There are two Airbnb rooms right next to each other (refer to P11) however there are no locks on the doors. We were very concerned about the security of our room, and each time we went out, we had to take all valuables like passport, laptop etc with us.
6.	We were unable to connect to the Internet with any of our devices (2 mobile phones & 1 laptop), and we had to use roaming on our mobiles – however Katie reimbursed us for this cost.
7.	The free on-demand movies didn’t work.
8.	The bedroom is very large and beddings are very comfortable, but furniture is quite worn. The wardrobe door won’t stay closed unless it’s locked (refer to P12).
9.	The study table is about 50cm * 40cm, however, the PowerPoint near the study table is fully committed, and not able to be used (refer to P13). We had to bring the table over the other side of the room to gain access to a PowerPoint, but then there was no space to put a chair in front of the table and we had to sit on the bed when working at the table.
10.	Both the main light and the beside lights in the room are too dim to allow reading at night.
