yes, maybe the cleanliness could have been improved, though it was alright. Apart from that, there is nothing to complain about. The house is petite but lovely; the " housemates " very pleasant, as is Stan himself. Unfortunately, we rarely saw each other, but we could still turn to him for all kinds of difficulties (how the cooker works, which overground to take...).
The location was brilliant, just beside the canal, within easy reach of various bus stops and tube stations and even within walking distance of central London.
We would definitely stay again.
