House
The house was clean and had a cleaner come through for the shared areas most days (if not all). The furnishings are basic but in good condition. The only downside is that the walls are thin so if you are a light sleeper you might struggle as you can hear people talking or moving about in the other rooms.
Host
Sovan was incredibly helpful and communicative the entire time I was there. One of the light fixtures was flickering and when changing the bulb didn't fix it he had it replaced within 24 hours. He also let me move a day early to a new room (when I extended my stay) so that I wouldn't have to try to co-ordinate moving during my work day.
Location
The house is about a 10 minute walk from Plaistow station, along a well lit road and is in a very residential area so is quiet.
