I stayed 3 weeks in this room. I'd recommend staying only a few days, not more.
+ Price is fair regarding the distance to central London but cannot be levelled up as the room is very small and public transports need to be used. (Btw a 10-minute walk to either side of the house for buses and underground -Northern Line- so that's rather convenient)
+ The kitchen is functional and adapted to the house. The only 2 remarks would be that there aren't enough forks and that it is always dirty and messy)
+ Washing machine works and is quite useful for a stay of over a week.
+ Toilets are alright, good that there are 2. The flushing is not efficient though.
+ Shower is alright too, shame that we can't choose the water pressure and change the angle of the head
+ Permanent subtenants are respectful and discreet (although indoor smell of whatever was smoked; and messy kitchen)
- The second AirBnb room's occupants were discreet as well except for one couple who make an excessive amount of noise when arriving back home in the night passed 1am / and when leaving in the morning before 6am
- Single bedroom I had was really small (2 single beds would barely fit so I'd say no more than 4m2)
- Only 1 shower towel, for longer stays I would recommend bringing your own.
- Desk to be discarded. Dirty and not straight.
- Chair is to be fixed or changed as it wobbles.
- Window blind needs to be fixed with proper tools, it fell a couple of times and I had to repair it (temporarily) with my hands
- Despite what seems to be a rather new wardrobe, it wobbles a lot and its back is falling apart. (a tremendous amount of hangers which is great)
- The Wifi did its job until it was cut 2 days before I left
!!! Horrible communication by the host. I sent 4 messages starting a month before my arrival, all remained unanswered. I made my way to the house and was stuck outside for 45 minutes while I called my host in vain !!!
To sum up:
* Most of the items need to be fixed or changed whether in the room or in the house. Everything is getting old.
* As far as one stays in this room to sleep, leaves in the morning and comes back in the evening, it can be alright, but just alright.
* Can be a lot better
