On arrival I was warmly greeted by Allan. He shared many recommendations and tips for my weeklong stay in London. Allan is a shining example of a Superhost: from helping correct a booking error to his willingness to accommodate.

Pros
- Amazing location. Great restaurants, a beautiful park nearby and an easy commute to the airports.
- Great price.
- Both Allan and his housemates are quiet, helpful and very kind.
Cons
- Not ideal for cooking.
-Not well kept: dead ceiling light bulb, a missing shower head in the lower bathe, a sponge in severe need of replacement, general odd smells, dirty dishes, roach spray in a drawer in the room...No sightings of any bugs though! I sense it was a busy week so this all may have been unusual.
-The room faces a fairly busy street which can be noisy at times.
While safe, I would not recommend it for a solo female traveller for reasons relating to cleanliness.
