this is more like a rooming house than an airbnb, wirh the only common spaces being the kitchen and the bathrooms. thus, you are either hanging out in your room on the bed or in the one chair, or out enjoying London.
our room was smaller tha appeared in the photos, and a bit tired, missing some baseboard moulding. the bed and bedding is comfortable, and the house is kept clean. there is a washer-dryer available but no instructions for its use. the kitchen has sufficient pots and pans to make a very simple meal, but is best used for reheating prepared food. the hosts are responsive to issues arising. the location is terrific.
there are two pages of rules, though, with threats of fines for breaking them. the title of these pages is, pretentiously, Welcome Home. this is not a homey place. and if you are in a room that opens to the back, you're looking out on, and hearing multiple train lines coming from various stations, night and day, as mentioned in another review. with the windows closed, it is just tolerable.
the room has no hooks for towels or robes, which makes for a logistical problem to allow the towels to dry overnight, especially if you are two in the room. the towels are clean, but skimpy.
it would be ok for one person, but it is small for two. it is not a terrible place, but not a particularly nice one, either.
you will be warned that the building is being renovated, as an explanation of the filthy hallway and stairs, but we saw no evidence of work being done.
