The host Kate and her partner Renato are really fine people, who were willing to help make my stay as comfortable and unrestricted as possible. The house is fine, for a typical, older English two-up two-down house, in a quiet neighbourhood, within easy access of all sorts of public transit, amenities and parks.

I am surprised that none of the previous reviewers mentioned a very glaring fault in this home. To be brutally honest, there are aspects that are quite dirty and should be unacceptable for any guest. And I am not being unnecessarily fussy. I would mention these directly to the hosts, who I am sure will be able to address them promptly, to the benefit of future guests.
