Karl is a super nice guy and made check in easy! No frills place, but if you need a bed it’s not a bad place. I stayed here for one night with my girlfriend.
That said, I do have a few comments:
there were either other guests in the house or roommates—Our room had no lock on the door, and around midnight two guys opened it and were looking around, not leaving until I asked “can I help you?” At which point they replied “sorry” and didn’t even close the door completely. We had contemplated going out for a drink after arriving, but considering the above I’m glad we didn’t, as our belongings would not have been secure.
Also, our room was immediately adjacent to the bathroom for another room in the home. Whoever was using it came in late and, although they were not particularly noisy, the walls were so thin that you could hear them using the toilet, shower, brushing teeth, etc.. it was just disturbing in an otherwise quiet neighborhood.
The bathroom we used was two floors down, the toilet and the shower were in separate rooms next to each other. Shower has no mount in the wall so the shower head just sits in the tub. Average cleanliness but amenities provided were as advertised.
All in all not a horrible stay. I’m going to say I wouldn’t stay here again, it just wouldn’t my first choice.
That being said, it was excellent pricing for the proximity to inner city London.
