Overall, I felt very unwelcome in Michael's place; it seemed like he didn't want me there to begin with.
Throughout the stay, Michael would nitpick at me about everything I did (e.g. using the kitchen, leaving the dishes to dry, using the lights in my room). I always follow house rules and respect the host's property as if it were mine. But no matter what I did, I would always be subject to his nitpicking. Even things I didn't do (e.g. other guests leaving stuff in the washroom), he would ask and blame me for it. This made made me feel uncomfortable throughout the stay.
The worst part was when I was checking out, I was trying to change into my shoes (because of the slippers policy in the house). He told me to "hurry up" because he didn't have time to waste. I did not appreciate that.
On the plus side, the location was good, only a 20-30 minute train ride to central London. The bedroom and washroom are both spacious.
With that said, hopefully future guests will have a better stay than I did.
Normally I try to avoid writing negative reviews because I can understand how difficult it is to be a host. But unfortunately, because of my negative experiences with the host, I cannot recommend staying here.
