I've always been picky about having my own bathroom to myself. This is the first time I've ever had to share a bathroom (at an Airbnb). However, Patsy's toilet was clean for the duration I stayed there. It was almost like I had the bathroom to myself.
Her home is located quite a walk up some flights of stairs, but that wasn't a problem for me as I only had a few items and a small luggage bag. It might not be the most ideal for those who are less able and active. But, her home is situated in a quiet area, which was good for me as I needed to study most of the time.
The surroundings consist of a shopping area a minute or so walk away, restaurants consisting of a variety of food, and the Russell Square station (around 5 minutes walk away). It is also a 20-minute walk from the Chancery Lane Underground station.
The price was a little over my budget for a house with a shared bathroom, but that's probably because I'm a student. For those who are a fan of vintage-like decoration, this place might just be for you! Patsy is very nice and she's great to talk to. Her dog is nice, too, though you might want to watch out because he gets a crazed look in his eye when he sees food! (Joking).
Overall, one of the problems I had with the place was that the room got really cold at night and in the early morning (which was when I got up to study). But, when I told Patsy, she gave me a fluffy sweater which kept me warm, anyway!
