I genuinely had the most comfortable stay at this address. The hosts are delightful and welcoming. Whenever there seemed to be any problem at all, they were readily accessible, and addressed and/or resolved the issues at the earliest. Just a breakdown of my stay of close to 2 months-
I was pleasantly surprised to see the room was nicer and more spacious than the pictures (the master bedroom). Just a downside, since the room is very large, with only one radiator, it does tend to get very chilly.
The house was well kept, with anything and everything you could possibly need already supplied. Appliances from oven, grill, stove top, dishwasher, washing machine to all cooking utensils, ample plates, cups, glasses, cutlery. Basic ingredients like salt, pepper, oils, tea, coffee, sugar are also present. Even dishwashing liquid & pods, handwash, laundry detergent and restroom needs like shampoo, body wash are regularly stocked up. Other items like hairdryer, iron, ironing table, clothes (drying) rack, vacuum cleaner are also present for guest use.
The kitchen as already mentioned is well stocked, spacious, bright and airy. We would often make and eat our dinners together, and was accommodating enough for all 4 of us.
The rent covers a cleaning charge as well, but it does not clarify that it does not include the rooms. However when the shared spaces (including washroom) is cleaned about one or two times a week, it appeared spotless! The time in between can get a little dirty, but not if everyone is cooperative and cleans up after themselves. That depends on your housemates, so good luck!
One of the biggest issues we did face was the automated heating. Some rooms especially the ones facing the roads and with larger windows get very chilly, especially at night/early morning.
All in all, it was a great experience. Far surpassed my expectations of an Airbnb stay, but was surely helped by the wonderful hosts. I also got lucky with great housemates so my stay was a very pleasant one. 10/10 would highly recommend.
Would suggest anyone to book without a second thought, especially PLAB students. Most guests are also sitting for it, so helps to practice/discuss together, a short 12-14 min walking distance to Samson Academy, with plenty of grocery stores (tesco, aldi, lidl) also on the way. Also within 5-7 mins of walking is a street full of a variety of restaurants/takeaways all catering halal food.
