A comfortable stay.
Pros:

The location was great for us, within walking distance of our special family event.
The room was warm and comfortable and access to the property very straightforward. Alex communicated well and answered all our queries.

Cons:

We only had one cup and one teabag left for us in the room, but otherwise we were happy with everything.

Not recommended
Pros:

Quiet location

Cons:

Yet another poor quality home turned into an easy revenue maker without the cost of HMO or Hotel license. So called Deluxe single room appeared to have been a large broom cupboard many years ago. Carpets throughout threadbare and in need of replacement. Poor repairs throughout home. Over priced

Pros:

The location was alright.

Cons:

We booked this property on Booking.com without realising that it was actually a private house where the host also lives. When we arrived, the host seemed surprised by our booking and was not expecting us, so we had to wait around an hour for the rooms to be prepared.

Unfortunately, the property did not meet our expectations. The shower in the bathroom was not working (something already mentioned by another guest weeks ago), and the toilet had a strong smell of urine. Overall, the house felt unprepared to accommodate guests.

The only positive side was that the host was very nice and welcoming, but the property itself is not suitable for visitors in its current state. If it hadn’t been so late at night, we would have canceled and looked for another place.

Honest Landlord
Pros:

I booked this room for two nights believing it had a private bathroom, due to an unintentional mistake in the listing made by the owner’s daughter. When I discovered that the bathroom was shared, I immediately requested a refund on the same day I was due to check in.

The owner, Dr. Alex, as a true man of God, kindly refunded my money—even though the booking was officially non-refundable. He acknowledged the error, corrected the listing, and dealt with the matter with honesty and fairness.

As a man of God myself and a Muslim, I promised him I would leave a good review, and I am happy to do so. Thank you, Dr. Alex, for your kindness and integrity.

I cannot rate the room itself as I did not stay there, but I can certainly commend the honesty and character of the host.

Cons:

Listing was not accurate at the begining but was corrected eventually.

Perfect for travelling
Pros:

Quiet, clean, respectful hosts. Shower is a situation, no pressure or temperature balance at all. Spoke to host, hopefully is remedied soon. Otherwise perfect for my trip, worked all day, slept, showered, worked again. Perfect for that.

Cons:

The shower.

Cons:

MOST IMPORTANTLY of all especially for a woman
From the description, extra information, facilities page, and definitely the images, available to me and my partner using the booking app it seemed as though this was a self contained flat/home.
unfortunately its actually a bedroom in a home directly next to the hosts bedroom, We left after a night.
Booking.com agreed with that it isn't clear. Instructed to change the description and refunded the majority of my stay
Secondly worst shower pressure I've ever experienced and I've travelled all over the world (rough)
Alex seemed nice but shower not fit for purposes. a woman, I feel would be even less impressed with it.
lastly met by 4 Christian texts in the bedroom, I myself am Christian, butt this felt a little much and adds to the feeling of spending the night in a bedroom in someone else's home next to their bedroom.
Thin office blinds and no curtains in the bedroom.

Room for improvement
Pros:

The house and room was very clean. Access was easy (once I was told). I parked right outside. The house was quiet.

Cons:

I had to contact the host twice to receive instructions on how to enter the property. And even then my second call was ignored and I received an email. The single room bed was very uncomfortable. The warm tap for the shower was very weak.
