Adam was the least hospitable host I have ever encountered. I asked if I could check in a 12 as it states on his listing and was gaslit about how it means after 12 and not 12 on the dot. Apparently he had a class at 1:30 so couldn’t let me in. Why put 12 on your profile if you know you have a pre booked class? I ask for a discount for the inconvenience. He then proceeds to tell me that if I’m late by 30 minutes, he will fine me. I contacted AirBnb who spoke to him and then told me he was unreasonable with staff and screaming at staff on the phone. This made me feel very unsafe to go, so I booked another air BnB. Airbnb said it was up to the host to refund me. I find this odd given that he is the one being aggressive. I feel like the concern for my safety went unnoticed by Airbnb and they proceeded to take my money. I feel let down by the host, gas lit and dismissed. Avoid this host like the plague his behaviour is petty and hosting style abysmal. I lost £1500

I stayed at Adam’s place for a few months and it has felt like a home away from home.

The studio room itself is even cuter in real life than it is from the pictures. It’s not a huge room by any means but it has a little kitchenette area, a little private bathroom and everything you would really need. Perfect for one person.

The wifi runs super smoothly and I didn’t have any issues if I had to get some work done.

In addition to the room being lovely, both the neighbourhood and the other tenants in the flat did not cause any loud noises or disturbances. During the night, you can barely hear anyone outside. Very easy to sleep well here.

I did have my boyfriend stay with me couple of times during my stay and it is worth noting that there was a very slight extra charge per night when someone sleeps over, but nothing really outrageous.

Overall, this has been an amazing little studio for the price offered and I will absolutely be coming back again!

Comfy clean flat that is a short walk to the tube, restaurants and grocery. High density living area but still quiet. Good for short or longer term stay for one person. Host was responsive and helpful.

Tl;Dr: photos were of a different unit, and host changed them after booking .

I requested to book Adam's place and he first asked how many people were traveling with me. I responded that I was alone; several hours later I asked if he needed any other information and he said he was "trying to figure out which unit made sense." The obvious answer, I would have thought, was "the one advertised," so that was a red flag on its own. The unit listed had pics of a second floor place; the one I got was on a first floor and he changed the photos after I booked it.

The place is tiny, the size of a dorm room (he seems to have split one apartment into 4 or 5 Airbnbs) but fairly well optimized. I was grossed out however that a desk fan was absolutely caked in filth; I was there in hot weather and used it a lot for a month and it didn't pick up much dust after I cleaned it so I'd guess it wasn't cleaned in years. The carpet also wasn't, as there were what appeared to be toenail clippings on it.
