There are many many rules and DON NOT lists in Maris’ House you need to follow before you arrive. I think it might be a good way to manage the flat.
During my stay there was an angry lady who asked me to open the door and knocked pretty disruptively. She really freaked me out so I texted Marie immediately. Marie asked me NOT to open the doors and dealt with the problem promptly.
However Marie later accused me of racism when I posted about the incident on Facebook to my friends. The word “黑人” I used in my language was just the word typically used and not implicitly racist. Hence I have no idea why she later texted me the comments below:
“Your post sounds a bit dramatic with a tinge of racism.“
“Im sure being black equals to being someone nasty or murderer”
Now I am not sure what a tinge of racism means but I never implied those connotations in any way. To me, Marie's words might've been more indicative of stereotyping on her end. If I did, then I apologize. Ultimately she asked me to remove the post which resolved the issue.
The location itself is not bad. You even can walk to Big Ben from the house in just 15 mins.Lambeth North Station is just 8 mins away from the flat by walk. There are also a few of bus stops nearby house.
