A nice and busy man. When a curtain rail had fallen on the corridor, he repaired it in few hours. The flat is rather clean, but I remember that had to clean dishes once more. The host will wash your dirty clothes in a machine, if you ask him. The rooms are cleaned up in the day when the guest is living. I wanted to clean my socks myself and I decided to buy a small bucket for a cork was to small and I couldn't do it in a bathtub, nor buy another in any shop I visited. The host promised to buy a larger cork in the Internet, but it didn't happen to the end of my stay. By the way, I wanted to economize on water, using sewage from the bathtub to flush the toilet, because of this terrible heats in London and high prices. Buses stop at this same street, where the house is located and one have to walk only 10 min. to the nearest train station. In the train they honour an Oyster card (this same as used in the buses and in the tube). You can find many shops, restaurants and a library by the street and a big park nearby. You go by foot to the Hyde Park in ca. 40 min. I wish a room in this flat was a bit cheaper, but I understand that because COVID restrictions, a cost of living crisis, the location prices are going high and the host should take it into consideration. The flat doesn't have a kitchen, but I was informed about this by the host much before the payment. You can eat on a cupboard in the corridor. For me it wasn't a big problem for I had planned to eat lunches outside due to work in libraries and archives to late hours. A lock in a window overlooking on the yard might be fixed. Probability of breaking in by somebody to the room on the 2nd floor (except of a wild, intrusive, but gentle cat), because of a high wall and a frame overgrown with creepers in the back of the house, but should we risk?
