Pros - The location of the flat was fantastic, just off Northcote road. The neighbours were lovely. The bed was amazingly comfy.
Cons - A lot of the stuff was broken when I arrived (TV, bathroom light, fridge door, cupboards). The floor of the common area was dirty when I arrived, to the extent that I felt obliged to vacuum (also not overly fussy). Also lots of drawers in the bedroom were filled with the hosts' clothes and things that made me feel like I was imposing. None of these would be a massive problem if I was there for a couple weeks but as it was a long stay (6 weeks), it did make a difference.
