My friend and I stayed here in the two rooms for six weeks while working at a nearby hospital. Abi’s place was located nearby buses (2 to 3 mins walk) which can take you to various parts of London and train stations. Closest underground was about 10mins walk away, but we found taking the bus was more cost efficient anyway.
Had some issues with the tap in the bathroom, owner came by and hopefully will be fixed for the next people to come in, however I think the bathroom in general could do with some upkeep in terms of the ceiling and heating system - which was very temperamental (not sure if that can be fixed?).
Good amenities and close access to grocery stores and other facilities. A great option if you want to stay out of the touristy part of London or are staying for a longer time and need something a bit more cost-effective.
During the last week of our stay the owner returned from overseas and was preparing for the next people to stay in the house so was there often to unpack his things and do maintenance. This was fine, though we did have to ask would he mind coming over to do this during the day, and let us know when he was coming by, as the first and second day this happened he arrived 10:30pm-12:30am when we were told he was coming over in the ‘evening’. This was a lengthy conversation, and in the end only partly resolved, as he slept in my friends room when she decided to leave a day early, and didn’t inform me he would be staying at all.
I should stress that we each payed for a room, so didn’t have exclusive access to the entire place, however it was the common courtesy of the situation which was lacking.
It sounds like other people have had lovely experiences here and so maybe this is a one-off. The other five weeks we had a wonderful stay.
