The Annex house was beyond my expectations. It was easy to reach from the airport via public transportation. The neighborhood was quite and neighbors were really understanding and warm. The house was close to groceries stores (Sainsbury, Argos, NPR market) and other shops.
The house was very comfortable. It is in the garden of another (main) house. The house has some garden space to hang out and stretch.
I stayed in the house long term during the lockdown period and had no issues to sustain my daily routine because it had all the amenities. A washing machine, dryer, oven, microwave, stove, kettle, large refrigerator and freezer were available. Additionally, it had every small tool that you may need in the kitchen, can opener, bottle opener, cups, utensils, pans and pots. Luckily, Max also brought a french press.
The plan and decoration of the house were very nice with a cosy bedroom and a modern sitting room-kitchen combination. In addition, it had 2 televisions, one in the bedroom with access to Netflix and one in the living space, which made the lockdown more bearable. All furniture and their covers, towels and etc. were very clean, modern and compact. It made the space much more bright and tidy.
Lastly, there was an electric water heater in the bathroom which made hot water available 24 hours. There were also radiators in the living room and bedroom which kept the house in an ideal temperature, which was very important to me coming from a warmer country.
Overall, it was a very nice stay for me despite the limitations in the region. The house is suitable for business and recreational travels, and Max is a really nice and understanding host, who goes beyond and above to help his guests in these uncertain times. I would definitely stay in this property again in the future.
