This is a filfthy place. The drawers were so dirty that I had to do a full wash of my clothes due to the fluff and dirt. There was a chip on the floor from last guest. Bed is basically floor level and dreadful. There was no working TV. I rang the manager . He was asleep in Canada and I woke him up. He could not care less. Zero help or security if there is a problem. Shouting, cars racing, fighting in street which is like a ghetto. The whole house smells of animal excrement. Filfthy and unsafe. Avoid.

Not sure why all the 1 and 2 stars, our rooms were fab!! We stayed in rooms 1 and 2 upstairs and both had new carpet and the bed was super comfy!!!! The communal kitchen and bathroom were clean too.. the area was nice and safe, we really enjoyed it and would stay again!!! Thanks!!!

When you book it gives the impression it's the whole house, basically it's a guest house with a communal kitchen and bathroom .The room I had at the front,the door lock was broken, and the TV had been pinched.There was a wall bracket, TV remote.The quilt was really thin. The host was friendly , but it says 24hr before booking you'll get am e mail with the door code, you won't , just turn up and ring the bell.it says parking , car park . It's street parking and you need a parking permit during some hours. To add insult I'd originally booked for 3 nights stayed for 2 and didn't get a refund for the 1 night. You did get a kettle in the room. With limited tea, biscuits. The bed was comfy
