You cannot expect the British to be much welcoming with people from southern Europe these days I know....:-) but jokes apart I didn't feel welcome at all, maybe it was my dark hair or olivander skin or southern european accent but I could see the host wasnt at ease with my presence in the house. The house itself is nice but there is dog's hair everywhere, a scruffy kitchen, and one bathroom for 4 rooms which cleanliness was a bit approx, toilet seat wasn't fixed during my stay....I fixed a time for my arrival but he wasn't there and I had to welcome an host for him as he wasn't there again....it still is an ok pad to crash and located in a nice area but I wouldn't return.
