This is AirBnB how it was originally intended. A room in someone’s home. David takes his host role seriously and makes sure everything is as it should be. A very pleasant experience. It felt like a home from home.
There are 3 rooms he rents out, one single, two doubles.
The location is great. Just one stop on the tube north of Kings Cross on the Piccadilly Line. Caledonian Road Station. Very quiet cul-de-sac.
It is very helpful that you can store your food in the kitchen, there is a fridge and specific space in a cupboard for guests.
The room had a very good mattress (firm) and everything that you would need for your stay.
I had very good and interesting conversations with David and another guest, which I thoroughly enjoyed. But I am sure if one prefers to keep themselves to themselves that would also be fine.
Overall an excellent experience and I will try to stay again when I am next in London, although David is booked up a lot of the time (Note, two nights minimum stay).
