I spent a pleasant month in Jay and Allan’s flat. The location is excellent, very near to rail and bus transport, beautiful parklands, the Thames, and a bustling shopping strip. Inside the flat, a bedroom (with a double bed) and an adjoining bathroom were my spaces, while the kitchen and eating spaces, and washing machine, were shared with Jay and Allan. The wi-fi was excellent and always reliable. The bedroom had a double bed, a mini-fridge, a small desk, a bedside table and half the storage space of a built-in robe. Linen and towels were changed once a week, and some other nice touches included flowers, milk and yoghurt. Truth be told, the bedroom is small. Too small, really, for two people to live in comfortably, but ok for one person (although still pretty cramped). The kitchen and meals areas are part of a busy flat. Those looking for clear, expansive spaces for preparing and eating meals would be disappointed. Allan and Jay were congenial hosts.
