I spent two weeks at lesley's as i was on a placement for 2 weeks at the nearby hopspital. Lesley is a nice host who has experience in using Airbnb to accomodate her guests.
Pros:
a guidebook with many documents about the neighbourhood, transports, internet password and nearby shops
the flat is quite, on top of a house, 3 bedrooms , 2 are for airbnb, one for lesley, so you can meet new people if both rooms are rented.
nicely decorated kitchen, new appliances, nice beddings and taste of decoration.
the big room is quite big, you can use the washing machine and dry cloth on radiator, if they are free.
dedicated space in kitchen and fridge to leave your stuff to cook
very nice bed linen, teasteful.
very quick to reply, good communicator
lesley offered for me to use her toothpaste when i arrived the other airbnb guest must have left with my stuff left in bathroom
CONS
the flat is having some work done, the pictures on the website are not updated, and the furniture has moved. there is a sofa and a small single matress in the big room, but the window ceil and the wall is quite mouldy, probably awaiting refurbishment, so if you are 3 and might have asthma, check before hand. i was fine and i don t have asthma.
the lights in the big room are very low, even the bedside table, so it s difficult to read a book with a decent light on.
the shower is functional, but a bit dated, and the pressure is a bit low and shower head is strange. but there is good hot water.
no TV DVD in bedroom as indicated
kithchen and lounge are very different from the photo, kitchen is new and includes the lounge.
