Oh, I feel this. I've had a lot of guests whose idea of London was Hugh Grant, vicars on bicycles and everyone stopping for cream tea at 4pm.
I've also had guests who think because they've booked a room in a Victorian house that it's going to be like Downton Abbey and everyone in the neighbourhood is going to be white and posh.
What they definitely don't expect is to see people of colour or mixed income groups, which immediately spell 'danger' to them.
As for value, it's a complete mystery to me. The ratings are so subjective as to be completely meaningless. If there was something better on offer for the same price, why didn't they book it?
