As described the house is basic and modest. The negative is that there is a strong smell of damp downstairs however, the beds are very comfortable with lovely clean bedding. The towels provided are lovely and fluffy and the shower works really well. We used the house as a place just to sleep and wash and spent most of our time seeing the sights and for that the house was perfect. There are 6 of us and to stay in London would normally be very expensive. This house is a good budget option that we would use again. It's not the Ritz but then you are not paying a lot for it. The really big bonus is that it is a short walk to the tube or buses and straight into central London.
