The location of this place is ideal! Just around the corner from Nothing Hill Gate. Very accesible to subway and buses. Close shops and food. Very nice neighborhood.
As far as the host, very accommodating and friendly via text. I never met Maria and not sure she actually lives there. Only greeted by other roommates primarily Dimitri. The room was covered with pictures of her but I did not ever meet her in person or speak over the phone.
The apartment was clean and room was separate from other bedrooms. I did not observe any signs of a female living there so not sure why the host is listed as Maria. Nevertheless, the guys were very nice. I only saw them in passing on my way in and out.
I was provided with a heater, clean towels and some toiletries as well as some ibuprofen and cough drops which actually came in very handy so that was a nice touch.
All in all not a bad place to stay for the amount.
