Could be great
This house is well presented and kitted out. It's evident that the owner has gone to great lengths to make guests feel at home.
Overall the experience was positive and I recommend this property, but the few cons did take the shine off the experience. Here's a summary of what mattered to me:
PROs
Beds
Good number of pillows
Mattresses - moderately comfortable
Good selection for a family
Kitchen
Good variety of crockery/utensils
Bathroom
It says 2 bathrooms, but in reality it's 1 bathroom plus second toilet.
Good power shower
Hanging/storage
Sufficient hangers for clothes
Location
Quiet
Near local shops, restaurant and supermarket and transport links
Near North Circular
CONs
Communication with landlord/agent
Responses were slow both before the stay and during the stay.
No Internet
Electrical fault
There is a sensor triggered light in the corridor which you cannot turn off. The problem is that every time the light is triggered, the lights in the front bedroom flash. This is like having lightning flash in your bedroom while you are sleeping, when someone goes to the toilet during the night. It was not pleasant. Plus it is accompanied by an annoying click. This makes for a poor sleeping experience.
Too many decorative cushions
Having to use the limited hanging & rack space to stack cushions from beds is not ideal. 1 cushion if you really have to.
No shower curtain
Consequently spent lots of time mopping the floor.
