2 Bed Flat Next Old Street Tube

They dont check if the apartment is clean before renting. Do not stay here!

− Total scam! Upon arriving at the flat, the inside of the building was unbearably hot and smelled. There's no ventilation in the building at all. When we entered the apartment, we realised it has not been cleaned at all! I dont know what kind of "person" was there before us, but that was no way for a human being to live. The bathroom smelled like someone defecated on the floor and covered it with a towel ( we didnt dare to lift it). Litter everywhere on the ground, food pieces on the counter, the fridge was "emptied" yet it smelled like something died in there. Having 1 bad guest before us is 1 thing, but it took me 1 hour to finally reach the flat owner , who's reaction was : Oh guess the cleaner didnt go. Like it didnt concern them at all, they offered their second apartment in King's Cross which was 15 min from our current position, but when I asked if that was cleaned/when was the last apartment , they couldnt confirm that either. They said the last guest was the day before, and this guest left today, when we arrived. The fact that theres no feedback of the cleaning, and they dont care at all should tell you everything about how theyre dealing with their issues. The next day I checked out the other apartment ( we stayed in a hotel the first night), but as expected that wasnt cleaned either, but at least I could say it was occupied by a decent human. We have agreed on a full refund on whatsapp ( couldnt send pictures through booking messenger), and later they provided a screenshot of the refund request as well, but Booking still said they need the owner's written request either via email or booking messenger. Its been over 2-3 weeks, and they are refusing to answer the phone / messages. Unless you have 860 £ lying around that you don't need, I do not recommend staying here.

Bola dobra lokalita,reštaurácie,bary,a potraviny hneď za rohom.

− Kúpeľňa nebola v dobrom stave a ventilator tam nefungoval. Ventilátor v obývačke sa prehrieval.

Bien mais peut mieux faire.

Juste à côté des transports en commun.

− Nous avons eu très chaud. Difficile d’aérer. Des mouettes très bruyantes la nuit. Une salle de bain à rénover avec un problème de paroi de douche.

Ideal location & clean, but the apartment is unbearably hot (needs aircon!)

Location was great, close to tube, good area with food options available and a local grocery store just downstairs. The apartment was clean. The beds were comfortable. More than adequate towels were provided.

− The apartment is far too hot in summer to stay in comfortably. Even with the doors and windows open and the available fans going (only 2 fans working), the apartment never went below 32 degrees (even at night and even when it was cool outside). The apartment seems to retain the heat and gets all day sun. There was a horrible stench in the foyer, elevators and corridors due to the bin area. The apartment thankfully did not smell. The apartment had a lot of things but no mugs (only 1) which was strange. More than once I contacted the host and got no reply - even though the automated messages said not to hesitate to contact them. They never responded to any of my messages (including a whatsapp) while we were in the apartment. There were no clear instructions on the wifi (available on the router), and no bedding left out for the sleeper couch (when unfolded you will find the bedding).

Alojamiento muy recomendable, anfitrión comunicación muy buena y limpieza muy bien

Ubicación, limpieza, comidad de las cama. Ascensor en el alojamiento.

− Teníamos ventiladores pero hacía mucho calor. Pero no fue culpa del alojamiento sino de las altas temperaturas en Londres en esos días.

Zweckmäßig, zentral aber abgewohnt und schimmelig.

Der Kontakt zum Vermieter war sehr gut. Er war freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Unterkunft ist sehr zentral. Nur 2 min zur Tube und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten in unmittelbarer Nähe, ebenso wie Restaurants.

− Die Unterkunft war für 5 Personen gebucht, aber dafür nicht vorbereitet. Das Schlafsofa war kaputt und musste erst repariert werden, damit man es überhaupt nutzen konnte. Auch Bettwäsche fehlte. Das Geschirr war unzureichend. Das schlimmste war der Schimmel im Bad und im „kleinen“ Zimmer. Der Rollos ließen sich nicht bedienen. Außerdem war es in der Wohnung sehr heiß, obwohl draußen nur 15‘ waren. Im Sommer möchte ich da nicht übernachten ….
