Host is welcoming, responsive and kindly accommodated me for check-in.
The single bed room is clean, receives good sunlight and is well furnished.
It's probably only a matter of time before the rest of the house is cleaned and renovated to the same standard.
Seen quite a few junkies in the neighbourhood but I never felt unsafe.
Bus stop just a few steps away is a convenient 15 mins to town center with a large choice of rail and tube options, shops, library etc
All in all had a decent stay thanks to a clean bedroom, good Wifi and a lovely host respectful of privacy while still available to offer assistance if needed.
