My friend and I travel to London last week and we spent 3 days at May's house and the room was exactly as the pictures, it was comfortable. There were other guests on the house; even we had the opportunity to met the other guest, which by the way were very kind and friendly.
The neighborhood was far from the turistic side of London and wasn't the nicest neighborhood of London but it was nice.
The only problem we had was that May didn't answer our messages until 2 hours later we arrived to London, so we weren't sure if someone was going to be there, how to get there or what to do.
Even though that problem, it was a nice stay at May's place.
