Pros ans cons. pros : nice room, comfy bed and nice hosts (especially his wife.) But unfortunately,lots of cons..The host told me twice before my booking that the tube station was 5mns walking from his home. Which was untrue. It is 20mns walking and when you are arriving with your luggage, you have to wait and take the bus. if i had the real distance information, i would have never rented this room. Because the main problem is the area. It i a not safe area for a solo woman at all. A man followed me from the train on my second day. He tried to chat whit me, and to isolated me in a dangerous area around Stonebridge park station, trying to rob me i suppose and then, he shouted at me when i didn't accept to follow him.. I was alone with nothing to defend myself so i was really scared, he was tall and agressive. It is kind of traumatic and i could not sleep after because the door lock system is not working properly in the house so i left earlier. Another problem, no heating at night and i was freezing. I asked 3 times to the host Who told me he will put it, but i never had the heating during my 2 nights when it was cold despite it was written on the equipements that there was a central and a radiant heating. The house had a garden and there is humidity so i woke up twice around 3 am because of the cold. Also, there is no curtains.
So, some Items are missing for the guests to be comfortable at the end.
