I stayed there for a whole week, and it was not a comfortable stay. I was out from 8am to at least 8pm every day of my stay which, in my opinion, was great for the host and saved him some electricity, this guy is all about saving money on everything, especially electricity and gas.
First of all, for any woman, considering staying there, there was no lock on the room door. The towel provided by the host, placed on the bed, seemed to be straight from the washing machine as it was totally damp. Host's two kids were staying in the flat at the weekend too, which wasn't mentioned in the advert. The whole house stank like broccoli every day, this vegetable was cooked for dinner every day. There was a disgusting sponge in the kitchen to wash the dishes, or rather something which was a sponge 1 year ago, I bought my own sponge for the purpose of cleaning a cup. Although description clearly stated (it has been changed a few times since then) that guests can use the washing machine, the host was very reluctant to make me use it. He finally agreed that I can do a short laundry for light colored clothing (making it clear it's a 'favor' which should cost me 20GBP) and agreed that I can do a second wash for my dark clothes (14 mins long wash) But when I wanted to do a second wash two days after, I couldn't get the washing machine started. The host plugged out the washing machine from the socket, so it looked like it's not working. After I asked him about it, he announced it is "out of working" (out of order) and he will repair it on Saturday so I can do my washing before moving out on Saturday morning. (Seriously a joke, what should I do with wet laundry in my luggage?)
He mentioned a few times to me that it's super expensive to make tea these days, I guess that's the reason I haven't seen a kettle in the kitchen although he said I can use tea or coffee. All in all, I guess it was too much for the host to have a woman in the house who dried her short hair with a hair dryer 3 times in a week.
From the positives, I enjoyed Peckham Rye, it's a vibrant area full of shops and restaurants.
