If you need a place to stay and don’t want to catch Covid, stay here!
We needed a place to self-isolate for two weeks as per the rules for travellers into the UK. Hasan’s place was perfect as it was self-contained with kitchen Wifi and washing machine so that we didn’t have to leave or have contact with anyone.
We wanted to avoid travelling long distances to get to our accommodation once we got off the plane. Hasan’s place is only a short free bus ride from the airport and there were only 2 or 3 people on the whole double decker bus.
We wanted a place that was very clean. Hasan’s place was very clean and organised. We also noticed the cleaning products that were used for cleaning in the cupboard and they’re all made to kill the Covid virus, which put our minds at ease.
We wanted to receive food deliveries from Tesco’s so we didn’t have to enter the supermarket. But as we didn’t have a UK phone number we wouldn’t be able to order the food. So we asked if he could place the order and he went above and beyond and ordered some food before we arrived so we wouldn’t go hungry (Tesco’s food delivery usually take a few days to arrive as we later discovered). He also provided us with a spare UK phone number to make further online food deliveries which really helped.
We also wanted some travel documents printed while in isolation, Hasan printed these out for free and put them in the mailbox so that the transfer of the documents between us was contactless.
