This is a hostel. It’s in a good location, very easy walking distance to tubes, pubs/restaurants, etc.
The room was ok for first 2 nights, but in the morning we woke to an awful, thick smell in the room. Either it was sewage/plumbing issues in the building, or the poorly managed garbage bins directly outside the window of this ground floor room (I stayed in room 2). The hosts would not respond to my messages about this, and my question of if there was another room for me to stay in. Eventually their son did, but there was no other room available. He was very kind and helpful.
I had to book a stay very last minute somewhere else and more expensive. This cost me more than I could afford and travelling there took up pretty much the entirety of my last day visiting London. When I asked for them to refund me the exact cost of my last minute booking elsewhere, they said that was an unreasonable amount and refunded me the one nights stay at their place. They said it was out of their control. I had to go through Airbnb support, who sided with me, to get my costs covered.
Also the shared bathroom was really dirty. If not for the disgusting smell in my room, I would’ve been ok staying here. I’m 22 and stay in lots of hostels, I’m really not that fussy.
