Eri has the right size studio for 1-2 guests in a great up-and-coming neighborhood -- Bethnal Green -- in London. Eri also was a great communicator up front.
However, the property should not be listed on Airbnb at any price point, until these health concerns are addressed:
1. Toilet. The toilet constantly kicks back sewage when it resets (e.g. after someone washes their hands). This resulted in a very unpleasant experience -- at all times -- when we used the bathroom.
2. Serious asbestos concerns. There is a very strong mildew odor and a damp feel throughout the property and lots of mildew spots on the wall – rusty, peeling paint, mildew stains, etc. As a former full-time real estate agent in an upscale community with old homes in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, I know these are signs of asbestos and its removal should be addressed before Eri hosts any more Airbnb guests. [Asbestos is linked to serious health concerns and heavily regulated in many countries: (URL HIDDEN)]
3. No pillow sheets and very dirty, gritty white towels. I know hosts may be concerned that guests might take towels but the two Eri had for us, with all due respect, looked like old cleaning rags and were not appropriate for guests.
