Afif's place is just enough outside the city that it feels calmer. It's quiet and in a residential neighborhood but still has easy and quick access to London. Afif's family was very welcoming and his father talked to us on a few occasions. They are very kind.
The wifi is terrible. It never worked in the 4 days we were there so don't stay here if you need wifi. Also, the bathroom is full of mold and is very very small. The pictures don't quite do it justice.
Overall, it was an okay experience. Check in and check out was incredibly smooth, good location.
