Indeed a public review : check in was disappointment - I was left ringing bell for ten minutes and no response. I telephoned and texted Malika. Finally she answered door and I was being "check in". That involved sitting downstairs in messy kitchen via hall with lots shoes on floor. General ambiance of downstairs was not good. Then I made an excuse to exit due to the delay of getting to the room after malika shouted "sorry" and said something about preparing the room (why wasn't it ready when I gave both days and reminder hours of notice when I would arrive ?) after a conversation in French with someone I did not see but heard! I gave up and mentioned going to local shop for water. I made decision not to return and made accommodation arrangements at short notice with an old landlord who kindly helped me in Lewisham. All I can say I would not recommend staying at Malika' place.
