Pros:
location is near Camden
Minji is very kind
Minji gave me a gym pass for free
Cons:
This is a place if you want to live student life all over again and pay lot for it.
No one is on site to manage and clean it regularly.
Toilet is its own sperate room. The sink to wash your hands is in another room. You can imagine how dirty the door handles are.
The shower tub is dirty. With hair in the drain. The curtain is hanging low and unhinged. The sink has no proper mirror in front of it. Now there is a tiny one because I couldn't shave. Sink is very dirty and the toothpaste is sprayed everywhere.
There is a laundry but you can't use their detergent.
They don't provide shampoo or soap.
Mattress in the room is very soft and not good for you back and neck.
Cleaning your bedsheets is your responsibility even if you stay for long durations.
Check-in address is incomplete. You'll need to find an internet to contact the host as in my case she just handed me the keys on the street after I walked around searching for WiFi while she went to work and I checked in by myself.
In a small place MANY people live and from 2 AM to 7AM is the only quiet time. The rest of the times you're hearing the doors banging and on weekends upstairs neighbor brings lots of kids over and they run around and drop things sometimes argue and bang doors.
Your room will not have a garbage bin.
There is a £20 fee to give you clean bedsheets and towel. I can't imagine how many people didn't pay this fee and ended up staying in dirty sheets and mattress that I'm sleeping on now.
The whole thing feels very dirty and cheap even though I paid $4K for this room.
WiFi is ok but not good enough to have a video conversation for work specially when other people are at the house.
If you lose your keys at night there won't be an easy way in because there is no one on site to open the door for you. There are other guests in the house but they feel weird opening the door at any time.
One time I saw guests sitting outside the appartment for an hour because they couldn't get a hold of Minji after loosing or forgetting their keys.
