This was a really handy option at a reasonable price. Don't expect hotel cleanliness

6.0

Location excellent. Ease of keys great, nice park outside for kids if travelling with them. comms great, WiFi and tv streaming great. Being able to sleep separately with sofa bed use, fab. Made use of sparkling clean fridge and kettle. Good hot water, shower head would benefit from being adjustable. Good underfloor heating. Convenience stores 5 mins walk great.

− No plug in kitchen sink. Had to use detached bath plug which was difficult fit. Cleanliness in kitchen wasn't great. Some plug sockets had ground grime on top, had to wash cutlery b4 use. No mirror present in bathroom just screws where one once was. I wasn't 100% sure the bedding was fresh. Didn't have that clean smell so slept with towel over pillow. One of the windows on arrival was open and could not be shut, needs new handle i think. Bathroom basics clean but skirting and bath edge grime.

Never visiting London because of that bad experience

Location only

− Water leakage everywhere, not clean, owner doesn’t help you with water leakage problem he will leave you on your own. By the way water was leaking on electricity and floor rugs so it’s so unsafe. Smells bad rotten

Cheap but we will not return

4.0

The flat is cheaper than other options at this rather central area. The location is well connected to the city center by a tube line and buses. Also, there is a pub and restaurant street just 3 min walk away.

− Although the flat is comparably cheap it is still overpriced. It is in a social home house, neighbours are loud till late night or smell strong in the elevator, which both causes to not feel like on vacation. The flat is spacious but more than basic. The only good point was that for the cleaning fee they actually had cleaned. Still some pots were a bit dirty, windows extremely dirty and no washing liquid or sponge in the kitchen. The worst was the missing basic things like soap or a hook for the towels or something like a lamp or a bedside table. They saved on everything although we paid good money for the stay in a obviously not-to-rent social housing apartment. The balcony door was broken and did not at all close. It really did not feel like the money we still paid. It should have had more basic comfort and higher maintenance.

The host's customer treatment compensates for other less comfortable experiences.

5.0

There is a basic role, so you can live there for a few days. The kilting is genius. Lots of shops and restaurants nearby.

− The bed is particularly uncomfortable and small. It lacks basic amenities such as a bedside table, reading lamp, comfortable armchair or sofa. It would be worthwhile to wash the outside of the windows from time to time.

I can’t imagine many people staying here more than once because of the mattress, the host was very nice and helpful, if

Great location, great price

− Couldn’t sleep in the bed as the mattress is very thin and of poor quality, slept on the very small sofa bed in the living room
