David was welcoming; but 2days before our visit we were informed that as David was traveling back from Scotland so we couldn’t check in until 6pm (not the time of 1.00pm as advertised) As our train tickets were booked at the same time as the room, some weeks before our stay, this meant us having to drag our suitcases around London, which was unacceptable. We wanted to drop our bags get changed and head back into London as we were booked in at Fortnum & Mason for afternoon tea at 5.30. I then got a message at 17.51 to say they were back!
The room was okay. That said, it’s advertised as having a wall mounted TV, no TV! Plenty of storage space, yes there was but it meant sharing the wardrobe with the owners clothes which didn’t seem right. Surely, a dedicated space could’ve be made for guests. The towels were on the thin side and were more exfoliating than drying!
The en-suite contained used bottles of shampoos, body wash etc, and used bits of soap in the shower! Considering this super host David has committed to Airbnb’s 5-step enhanced cleaning process we felt this wasn’t the case.
There was dust in the bedroom and the bathroom radiator was also dusty.
We were under no illusion that this was anything else other than a room is in a shared house, we felt that the room could’ve been presented better i.e less clutter, no second hand soap or products.
The WiFi code was ‘weak security’ so my friend couldn’t use the internet for work.
The area was ok, but hardly any restaurants to eat at.
We were visiting because I had a hospital visit and would only be staying the one night. Considering the late check-in and only one nights stay i wouldn’t say it was value for money.
