Terence and his partner seem like really, really nice folks, so I feel bad about having to say anything negative. However, I'm mindful that people rely on reviews to make good decisions, so... :/

The house is overall not very clean. We stayed clear of the kitchen and the lounge as much as possible as it was somewhat...unpleasant, with half-eaten food left out and unwashed cutlery. The smell of food waste coming from the large trash bin in the kitchen was pretty obvious throughout the house.

The room itself was most likely very dusty. My friend wheezed throughout the night and needed her inhaler all the time when we were inside, and my nose kept dripping. This didn't happen outdoors but only in the room. It's unlikely to be allergies to cat fur as she's a cat owner with no issues at home. There's also no lock on the room door, which some might be fine with - matter of personal preference I'm sure.

All that being said - it's entirely possible we simply caught them at a bad time, as Terence mentioned being very very busy with work those few days, hence we hardly saw him. On the upside, the bathroom was great and looked just as the photos depict. The area itself is also nice; peaceful with little shops and eateries nearby. Near Arsenal Stadium, so that's good for fans! We were also very thankful that Terence kindly gave us a lift to the tube when we were on the way out the door - saved us a great deal of dragging heavy suitcases across cobblestones! He didn't have to and he was obviously very tired, but he made the effort to help out - a real gent.

So bottomline, a nice host, and a place with a lot of potential. If you're not fussed about cleanliness and won't be spending much time indoors, you could consider it! And I do emphasise, there's every possibility what we saw wasn't the normal state of things - something to bear in mind.
