Michelle was great. Very hospitable and on hand to answer any questions, the house is well equipped if you needed to make a proper meal. Location is in a quiet close but very easily accessible to Brighton and surrounding areas. I would recommend to anyone looking to stay in the area, thank you again Michelle!

My girlfriend and I have stayed here for a month. Hope the comments help.
Fact 1: Flies everywhere at the kitchen.
Fact 2: The host didn’t return us the change (9pounds) when we paid the rent, said it’s the deposit for the washing machine. We involuntarily paid for the washing in advance.
Fact 3: We asked about the use of kitchen before renting, on the first day of arrival and during our stay. Got three different answers. Ended up overcharged for excessive use of kitchen from the deposit for “washing”.
On the website, she originally ticked the use of kitchen. When we texted her about this, she replied light cooking is allowed, without mentioning any charges. On the first day of arrival, she replied 20 minute, no charges mentioned. In the middle of our stay, she changed it again to cook once per day, also without mentioning the charges.Fact 4: We agreed with the use of WhatsApp to record the times of washing. In the end, the host insisted we had used more than what’s recorded and refused to give back the unused deposit (plus the charge for the kitchen).
Fact 5: NEW rules added in the middle of our stay, included but not limited to : opening the curtains (window size: about 2M x 3M) of our room in the day time and the reason provided was she thought closed curtains made her house looked untidy. Do not put the used plates and cups on the table inside our room,etc... But we actually cleaned all things we used and put them back in the communal kitchen cupboard and left nothing used unclean in the kitchen.
