I'd recommend this place for a college student or younger travelers who maybe aren't as concerned with the finer points.
Pros:
- GREAT neighborhood. Clapham is fantastic, and you're right next to a beautiful park.
- Room is large with great windows, as described if not better.
- Considering the price, you're getting close to fair value.
- Current long-term tenant, who is in the room next door, is very friendly.
- Great view from the kitchen area.
Cons:
- Communication is limited -- bear in mind Simon lives in a totally separate downstairs apartment, and you sometimes can't get in touch reliably via text. I actually went the entire 3 weeks without getting to introduce myself.
- One of the bathrooms rains water through the roof when it rains outside.
- A new guest arrived in the house with no warning at all, which may make some travelers uncomfortable.
- Make sure you request a key to your room, I had to ask for one.
- If the tenant is gone, the house is sometimes totally empty.
