The trip began well with a private room as advertised, and ran smoothly considering all three rooms upstairs get rented out and all share one bathroom. I cleaned the shower once, but that was because our host wasn't there so it wasn't her fault and I didn't mind.
Two days in unfortunately our shower broke, and although a bath was available we are unable to take baths, and also did not want to share a tub with several other strangers with no cleaning in between. Our host was very kind about it and eventually put up a temporary fix, but still when you're paying for a bed, shower, and a place to leave your stuff and one of those isn't working it sort of sucks. I wouldn't have booked it if I knew a bath was the only option for most of the trip.
We had clean sheets, towels, access to laundry and a shared mini fridge which was nice. The average person would have no problem with cleanliness. Unfortunately I have a mold allergy and there was mold in the bathroom crevices and around our bedroom window, which can happen in an older building. My friend was not bothered and we didn't notice it until we looked for it. I woke up sick on day one and thought I was just getting a cold, but when we left for one night to Paris and it cleared up, then returned after I woke up back in London I figured it was my mold allergy.
Again, the average person won't notice (the host said she has never heard that complaint before, which makes sense because the average person is only barely allergic to mold) and will probably have a nice stay.
Basically, if you are okay sharing a bathroom with two other rooms, and not severely allergic to mold I would recommend this place. The location is conveniently right next to a bus stop and the tube and the restaurants around it are well priced and good food. Zehra was mostly kind just a bit defensive about the mold, which I get since it was new information. Peter was very kind and welcoming. I appreciate the time we had in Bethnel Green- stop by Satan's Whiskers for good cocktails!
