We rented this apartment for 3 nights - 2 adults and 2 teenage girls. The apartment was clean and contained most of the essentials needed for a short stay. Communication with the landlord was good. The location is excellent, offering immediate access to the Underground, Overground, and many bus lines right outside. There were several grocery stores, cafes, restaurants, and pizzerias within a 5-minute walk. During our visit, London was experiencing 30-degree weather, and we were very pleased with the large balcony, which provided a comfortable outdoor space.

− We don't think this apartment would be suitable for a longer stay. The living room/kitchen area was small and had no windows, making it uncomfortable to spend time there. The beds were poor quality. The main issue is that the apartment is located directly above the tunnel entrance/exit for 4 train tracks, making it noisy. The first night we barely slept at all. We slept slightly better the following two nights, but that was likely because we were exhausted from walking around London all day in 30-degree heat. The balcony was large, but the awning was broken. One chair and a hammock were also damaged, so we had to use some kitchen chairs to accommodate all 4 of us. While the location is excellent for transportation and amenities, the noise issue significantly impacts the quality of stay.

Good value, close to transport & shops, but could be easily improved with a little extra attention

Very close to public transport, supermarket, and other services. The host (Beba) was very helpful when we asked for extra supplies. Lovely balcony.

− The flat wasn't well equipt for a long term stay (we stayed over 10 days). For four people, long term, we needed more towels and an airdryer for our clothes after washing. Could use a few more cooking essentials. And very importantly, the balcony doors dont lock, which doesn't make us feel very secure. This is a serious concern, its been reported before in earlier reviews, and should be fixed immediately.
