I stayed "with Huma" for a bit over 3 weeks (I cut my stay 1 week short because of the reasons stated below) and I quote "Huma" as I never met her, there was 'Mr Haris' in charge instead.
The issues arose as soon as I stepped into the house. Hygiene is less than desirable I don't know how this place is allowed to host people. First impressions is a smell, an old stained carpet and dirty half painted walls some with crayon scribbles all over them.
One big issue is the kitchen, both stoves were covered with a thick layer of fat, and the place was overall dirty. One of the fridge's disgustingly dirty as it had never been cleaned before, the other one was super clean because it was brand new, one could tell because it still had the plastic protections inside, it's just a matter of time. I have pictures of this and I'm happy to provide them.
The rooms are shared so it pretty much depends on the roommates you get.
On my 4th day, one of my roommates ripped off the shower curtains and their holders. I asked administration about its replacement, they told me someone was coming that same weekend, I left 3 weeks later and it wasn't fixed, at all. This lead to an ever-wet bathroom. Again, I have pictures.
There was no room cleaning, they just came to the room before a new person's arrival, so no clean beddings, no trash emptied, no toilet paper replacement. We didn't have access to broom/mop to clean ourselves either.
This toilet paper was particularly humiliating as one had to request it every time and had to wait for a number of hours until they replied/supplied new rolls. Felt like asking for permission to do ones needs. And there's no bidet to make up for it.
The house hosts 20+ people at a time and there's not common areas besides the kitchen as they turned both living rooms into extra bedrooms. This happened while I was there.
The WiFi is terrible and even though they have multiple networks they're not enough for the number of people there. This is crucial as most people there are students/doctors and WiFi is a necessity.
I cut my stay short from 4 to 3 weeks and was only refunded 10% (around £100) instead of 25% of a extremely expensive and severely lacking stay. I wonder if they're actually licenced to host people.
