I'm in the market to rent a room from someone, I don't really care who so long as you don't;

- Smoke inside
- Smell musty
- Have a manky bathroom
- Have those crappy solid electric cooker hob things

Now, on the face of it, these criteria sound simple however you'd be surprised at the holes I've seen so far!!

I'm trying to find somewhere to live in Central London, up to around £750pcm all in (which, by the way, is absurd for a room), however its a minefield out there!

Any PHers with a room going within 20 mins of Aldwych??

Okcupid probably works out cheaper.. hook up with some girl who already owns a place there, move in, sorted!

I'll admit it requires a bit more leg work (and other body parts) mind.

I was paying £200 / wk and that was at mate's rates. You don't get much for your money in London.
