I stayed at Michelle's place for an extended time period of three and a half months during a research trip to London. The room was very affordably priced, well-furnished, and comfortable. While laundry facilities were not mentioned in the posting, there is a washing machine available, although guests must either using a drying rack or hang their clothes to dry on a clothes line in the backyard. There were three other tenants there for the majority of my stay; as Michelle describes, they very much kept to themselves, but were a bit noisier than I'd anticipated (especially during soccer matches). I'd intended to do more cooking during my stay, but available cooking equipment was pretty minimal (collander, saucepan, frying pan, cutting board, and not much else); there was other cooking equipment available but there seemed to be confusion between the host and the other tenants over what I was allowed to use and what other tenants considered their private property and I was not permitted to touch or use. Michelle was generally quick to respond and resolve problems that arose during my stay, including helping to track down a misplaced package and quickly replacing a worn-out shower head. However, she seemed a bit preoccupied during the last few weeks of my stay, and communication was not as good - in particular, while she'd washed and replaced bed linens about once every three to four weeks in the first part of my stay, the bed linens were not changed in the last month and a half or so of my stay at all. On the whole, I had a pleasant experience, and would recommend her apartment to other guests, especially those planning shorter term stays, with few reservations.
