I did not meet Max in person. I picked up the keys very easily at the bar close to the house. Max doesn't live there. all 5 rooms in the house are rented. So there is no one, like a host, in the house, to ask something. When leaving I left the keys in the room.
The wall are thin, you can here everything from the next rooms. So if you are traveling in couples mind that you might disturb someone :)
I loved the location. Close to Islington (Angel station), Old street (station), Hoxton, Shoredich, Bricklane.. My fav districts.
The room is exactly as on the pictures, quite big and very clean. The window is facing a wall, so that it is quite dark at all time. The linens are fresh and clean, smell good and are soft. The kitchen and bathrooms (2 shared bathrooms for all 5 rooms) are also very clean and comfortable. The wifi is working very good. The kitchen is fully equipped, so you can easily prepare breakfast or anything for yourself.
I was traveling alone, and felt good in the house, secured and relaxed.
Note: if you are a girl, with long hair just like me ask in advance for an extra towel, as they give you just one medium size.
Really a good value for the money.

Thank you, hope to return
