Unfortunately, I was disappointed with my stay at Debbie's primarily because she wasn't following Airbnb's 5-step enhanced cleaning process either before I arrived or throughout the duration of my stay - but it clearly states on the booking that she has agreed to this.
Before Debbie confirmed my booking she told me that she had a lodger and that there would be three of us staying in the flat. I didn't have a problem with this and assumed it was a three bedroom flat. Upon my arrival I was informed that I would be staying in Debbie's room and that she would be staying in the living room throughout the duration of my stay, but I could still use the living room during the day. In the beginning I didn't think that this would be a problem, but then when I started to use the kitchen I soon realised it wasn't equipped for three people sharing. The fridge is quite small and has a small freezer compartment built inside it. This meant that it was difficult to store food and consequently meant you had to go to the shop to buy food more often because there wasn't room in the fridge to store it. The kitchen also didn't have a toaster (which she apologised for when I arrived, but did say she would be buying a new one soon - it never materialised and I was there for a month - there is a grill in the oven you can use), microwave (although I understand why some people choose not to have a microwave), frying pan, cheese grater or peeler. For these reasons, I wouldn't recommend Debbie's place for a long term stay, but it would be fine for a couple of nights when you are not planning to use the kitchen much.
On the day I arrived Debbie showed me how to use the blind in the bedroom and it broke. She told me a few days later that she had ordered a new blind, but that it wouldn't arrive until after I had left. I sincerely hope that the blind will arrive soon for any new guests, as throughout the duration of my one month stay I had to clip a blanket to the sides of the blind at night and then remove them again in the morning. This was obviously a temporary solution. The clips were provided by a friend of mine and not by Debbie. There were a lot of dead insects and moths stuck to the top of the blind.
Crouch End is a lovely area and the flat was close to the shops and bars.
The bed was very comfortable.
