You pays your money and takes your chances. Don't expect the Ritz, or even a Britannia for that matter. Shower is awful, there is no pressure or water. Sofa bed is the one in the photo, very basic and not really comfortable...its at the bottom of the double bed so no privacy whatsoever. There are 52 steps up to this room which isn't easy with luggage. The tube stations are slightly longer away than advertised. More like 5 for Aldgate and 10 for Liverpool. The host was very communicative on text but didnt really listen when I asked him to fix the blind. Yes it was cheaper than a hotel room but I won't be back.
