Ist sehr traurig. Das in London nicht alles so clean ist Wüste ich schon und will mich auch nicht darüber auslassen. Kommunikation ist wirklich sehr schlecht. Ich hatte wie zuvor vereinbart bei Ankunft angerufen, da wurde mir gesagt das ich 5 min warten solle, worauf? Nach ca 20 min nächster Anruf da wurde mir gesagt ich bekomme eine Nachricht. Doch Fehlanzeige. Dann ca 15 bis 20 Anrufe wo niemand ans Telefon ging. Ich hatte schon angenommen ich musse auf der Strasse schlafen. Dann habe ich mit einen anderen Telefon angerufen. Und siehe da nach 2 Stunden wurde mir ein anderes Haus zugewiesen und ich hatte ein Bett. Sehr schlechte Kommunikation.
