We spent 3 weeks at the host's house, whilst our own home was renovated. Hence we were not tourists and were using the place to continue with our usual routines - going to work, cooking/laundry/sleeping etc. Abraham was very helpful and communicated well. Abraham's place is in a very quiet street, but the back garden is adjacent to the tube/railway line and there are neighbour's dogs constantly barking during the daytime. The house itself was fine for us to function in, though I would say that sleeping four was a bit of a squeeze as the 2nd bedroom is really a single.
