The house is well-located, only a 7min walk from the Central Line which takes you to the heart of London in half an hour. The room is cozy and I had a bathroom to myself with a powerful shower.
I was supposed to stay for 2 months, but ended my stay earlier because of an accumulation of events. First, the hosts had arguments/fights on the first evenings of my stay, and the shouting made me feel very uncomfortable and anxious. Second, the quality of the mattresses is very poor; besides a sore back, neck, and hips, I kept waking up multiple times a night with sleeping limbs from my blood circulation being cut off. Third, while the listing says "no-smoking", the host smokes inside the living room and the smell reaches the entire house -- the strong air freshener does a poor job hiding it --, which gave me headaches. I found several hairs that do not belong to me in my room, and a trashed plastic bottle under the bed. The power chord in the bedroom is either old or of bad quality; it crackled when I plugged in my devices to the point that I stopped charging them in the house out of fear that they would get broken because of a short circuit.
The hosts were friendly to me, but I did not feel at home. My feelings of discomfort were strengthened when she made racist remarks ("I'm not a racist but..."). I'm not usually a fussy person, but something about not having a designated space to put my groceries in the kitchen just added to the feeling of not being at home and having to take up as little space as possible. I was also told about some personal things and while I, of course, sympathize with people and welcome human connection, in this case, it felt like an excuse for the poor hygiene and bad mattress in the house, playing onto my emotion to not complain about it.
The hosts were kind to me, however, and given the many good reviews, this accommodation might be the right choice for short stays on a budget, especially given its excellent location and the rare private bathroom for a low price.
