I was met by Patrik and shown my room . I had to be careful to arrive on time as a late check in costs £5 .
The antiques are impressive as you enter the house - an aeroplane , horses saddle , pictures everywhere , old fashioned typewriters . Looks like the owner is an eccentric collector .
The accommodation itself is rather basic . I had a double room with a single and a double bed . Watch out as extra charges are applicable if more than 1 person stays . I had to pay £20 per night extra when my children stayed .
Also watch out if it's cold weather as the heating system is poor and the room is rather cold .
The location is someway from central London on bus 18 . But it's zone 2 and therefore takes maybe 30 minutes to 1 hour to get to central London if you want to go sightseeing .
Although Patrik is a friendly person he is running a money making business and has 8 rooms rented in two both houses he runs .
Therefore the bathroom is always busy and no washbasins in the rooms . No TV . No washing machine
So in reality it's a fairly soulless place . And it's not that cheap .
On the area itself it's not the best as its a bit edgy . I nearly had a fight in the local Mason Arms .
However The Neasden Temple is worth a visit - also called Swami Narayan Temple and Wembley Stadium is close .
