We chose Antonio's listing because of the price, and his place has the potential to be a great, affordable option when visiting London. Antonio was friendly and welcoming, and we enjoyed meeting and talking to him. Unfortunately, the apartment (specifically the kitchen) was quite unclean. The listing claims to offer free breakfast, however we were told to help ourselves to a fridge full of half eater, expired, or mouldy food. As well, all dishes were quite unclean and had to be washed before use. Both the kitchen and bathroom were quite cluttered with personal items, and while I understand that the space was shared we both agreed that it felt as if our host made little effort to prepare for our arrival. Another major factor was the lack of locks on doors; our private room and the shared bathroom were on the second floor, as was the host's bedroom. We both would have felt much more comfortable with more privacy, being able to lock the bedroom or bathroom door. The heating in the bedroom was pretty inconsistent, and switched back and forth between uncomfortably warm and freezing cold. Finally, although it is clear from the description I feel I should mention that the home is quite far from the city centre--a fifteen minute walk from the underground station and about 40 minutes on the train. I think this can be overlooked, but when combined with the above mentioned issues made this listing less desirable. In the end we were not particularly satisfied with our stay. Antonio was lovely, however we still felt uncomfortable and also still had to buy our own breakfast. I would not recommend this place to solo travellers or anyone who worries about security as we do. I recognize that we selected this location because it was one of the cheapest options, and so we weren't expecting anything fancy, however this place felt unclean and lacked very security security measures.
