Tita was a very friendly host who helped us get to her place easily. The room was situated in the basement of the house where her family lived and other guests were welcomed as well on a different floor. We had our own door and keys to the street which was particularly great about this room. Her family was very friendly, and besides a tantrum of her toddler on entrance we did not experience any noise disturbance. They also had a very friendly and sweet house cat who sat in our room for a while, however for people with allergies this is important to know.
The room itself was very good considering the price we paid. Towels, bedsheets, toilet rolls and dish-soap were provided, however there was no handsoap or dishtowel etc. The beds were comfortable enough for us, however you could feel the springs in your back. The kitchen was equipped with all basic amenities (salt, pepper, olive oil, cutlery, dishes, watercooker, microwave, etc.). In addition, the whole place was cleaned and smelled clean when we came.
The only real complaint we had was that the bathroom was very small. The toilet would not flush properly and although water would go through, the paper would not flush. In addition the shower was very small and had some mould, and there was barely space for us to stand and properly shower as it was situated in the same room as the toilet. There was also no shower curtain which made it a bit messy to shower there. We all felt uncomfortable doing so.
However overall the place was pretty good, especially considering the price we paid to stay there with three people. Tita was very kind to us and our stay was comfortable. The house was easily reachable as it was located on a busy road next to the bus stop. This gave access to many different stores situated close-by but also many buses going all around London. We were able to sleep well, however, a busy road does cause a lot of noise. This was however, the perfect place for the three of us.
