I booked this room at Sophia's for 35 days to find a permenant place to rent after moving to London for good.
Sophia and James are decent and respectful hosts.
There are pros and cons
PROS:
The house is located close to high street where you can find lots of restaurants and off-license shops.
It's 10 minutes away for Upton Park and Forest Gate stations.
The room has 2 closets, a desk and a monitor which come in handy while working from home.
Sophia extend my stay
CONS:
At times, the house accommodated 3 other tenants, most were toxic and loud. Some did not bother to clean up after using the kitchen and most did not respect quiet hours after 10 PM, so staying here with decent tenants is a hit or miss.
The hosts don't live on premise and a cleaner doesn't come at all. The hosts were responsible for cleaning and only came to the house twice during my stay.
The walls are thin and you could hear anybody talking day/night clearly.
There's a heating/boiler flue under the room's window
