I stayed here for a month with my girlfriend from July 1st - July 31st 2016. When we chose this place it had 13 reviews with 4.5 stars. Given that, I think it is only fair that we move this closer to a 3 star listing. Let's start off with the good, but skip the next paragraph if you want to read why I think this deserves a 3.

The shower is very good with strong pressure and heat. The wifi is fast. The location to the subway is a 10 minute walk. The neighborhood outside the willesden green tube station has some sketchy ppl, but overall it feels safe. So walks to / from the tube are safe even at night. There are also some middle eastern, indian and 1-2 italian restaurants and a Sainsbury nearby, so you can pick up food if you are hungry. The price is excellent.

Now let's move on to what I had the biggest problems with:

Basically, when I lived there in July, I killed on average 1-2 bugs a day. I am not kidding. I have never killed so many bugs in my life. There were just constantly moths, small mosquitos, flies, etc. I did also kill 2 cockroaches. I let most of the spiders live because I wanted them to kill bugs for me. I've lived in 4 flats in London as of August 5, 2016 and only Farouzan's had this many bugs. This was without a doubt the reason that I think Farouzan's place should drop in rating. If you visit in the winter, maybe you won't have this problem as the bugs may already all be dead for the season, but if you are visiting in the summer, keep this in mind if you don't like living with bugs.

Beyond that, a lot of things are sloppy which indicate it's true value.

1) There are nail holes randomly in the wall as if the builder didn't know what he was doing.

2) The ceiling has 6 light fixtures but only 2 work. The cut out holes for the ceiling light are clearly larger than the ceiling light itself. One light actually hangs through a hole without any actual bulb.

3) The washroom has black dots in the ceiling the way washrooms might if moisture build up mold. There appears to be a fan in the washroom, but it wasn't working when we were there. The washroom door had some wierd red / maroon color on it. Not sure what that was but it looked unclean.

4) The stool is broken in the lower ring. You can see in the pictures it is taped together to keep the lower ring in place.

At the end of the day the last 4 points are not deal breakers. They simply illustrate that you get what you pay for. For me, the deal breaker was the bugs and that is why this place deserves closer to 3 than 4.5.
