I was told asked on my arrival if I wanted to see the kitchen. No I wanted to see where I was staying! I was shown my room with a key and towel. And that was it, no 'if you need me...' No mention of the many things that might help, like tea making facilities, shops, transport. By the morning there was no toilet roll in the bathroom and I had no idea who to ask or where to go in this large Victorian house.
The place was very quiet and the bed was super king size and clean but the piles of childrens clothes at the end of the bed and general clutter didn't help.
It cost me £11 each way for a taxi into Crouch End and back because I couldn't work out the busses. Can't say I was too happy with my host.
