You Do Not Want to Stay Here
I was shocked when I arrived at the property. Even before I entered, it was clear the building is quite rundown. Empty planters with styrofoam in them. Weeds. Some loose garbage along the drive. Entering, there’s a lack of fresh air and attention to detail.
I entered my room to find a tiny, rundown space. Needed to be aired, but the window is locked shut. The walls are scratched and stained, the desk and fridge / cupboard area are old and covered in bubbled paint. Bathroom door was sticky to the touch. Tiles damaged. No toilet paper holder. Sink drain was shut (pop up cover type) and I could not get it to open. Ended up with a sink full of water and had to resort to brushing my teeth with bottled water and spitting into the toilet. Trim has layers of dust. Keyhole so large - absolutely ideal for a Peeping Tom. I stuck toilet paper in the keyhole and hoped for the best.
Arriving back after the concert the door code did not work and I was left standing outside for several minutes alone, in dim light. Attempts to contact the “Guest House” by phone were unsuccessful. No answer. Only after multiple rings of the door bell and the Ring bell did someone remotely unlock the door. No apology or explanation offered.
It is not close to Wembley. It was about a 40+ minute bus ride, not including walking time. An uber cost between 32 and 48 GBP.
Oh, the AC worked. Wow.
