This stay was not excellent. Our room was allocated in the basement with no view and the room was very cold. The host told me that the house has an automated heating system which she had no control on. The kitchen and bathroom, 1st floor, have a nice temperature, but not the basement and I was provided with a very small radiator which made the air less frozen.
That was not the only surprise because when I went to bed, I realized that the bed slats were broken. It was late (over midnight), so I didn't have any immediate assistance and me and my boyfriend had no choice than sleeping on a irregularly inclined bed. We had back pain in the morning but the host fixed the bed the next afternoon and we slept well the last 2 nights.
You can hear very loud noise from the 1st floor if people go to the kitchen or the bathroom, when you are sleeping in the basement. This house is kids friendly (and they do run a lot, everywhere), therefore every day we were waken up by the noise of other guests going up and down the stairs.
No trash can in the room. Only 1 bathroom for 4 rooms that can accommodate up to 8/9 people approx. Shower gel and shampoos available.
The kitchen is comfortable and well equipped, with nice street view.
There's breakfast groceries available, as well as tea and some drinks. TV with DVD recorder and radio in the kitchen.
The location is very convenient! You are right in the city center, next to river Thames. Bus stops nearby the house.
I appreciated that the host stored our luggage in the house after check-out letting us pick them up later for our late flight.
