Great location but facilities don't match the Booking.com listing

4.0

The location was excellent

− The property facilities did not match the Booking.com listing: 1. The property was listed as having air-conditioning. It did not. Having lived in and visited the UK over the last 35 years we knew that heatwave conditions were rare but unpleasant so we filtered our search to include air-conditioning. In fact we did have heatwave conditions with temperatures in the mid-30s for several days. Instead of air-conditioning the property offered a portable "air-conditioner" which was totally inadequate for the conditions and did not meet any reasonable expectation for a property claiming to have "air-conditioning". It was barely capable of taking a few degrees off the temperature in the immediate vicinity and provided little comfort. It was also extremely noisy, with the compressor in the room and the external door having to be open, allowing in the Vauxhall traffic noise. The cooling certainly did not reach the bedrooms, which made for very uncomfortable nights as outside temperatures remained in the high 20s to midnight and beyond. The highly unsatisfactory response of the managers was: "We have multiple apartments with central air conditioning, but since this unit is in an older building, a portable AC is the only option available. Most apartments in this building use the same ones in summer. In the bedrooms, we provide fans, as temperatures typically drop at night and in most cases air conditioning isn’t necessary... So far guests haven’t complained about the AC unit, and we’ve had it since the beginning of last year." Wrong on so many levels. 2. The property was listed as having streaming. It doesn't. Although it does have a couple of remote controls suggesting that it once did, they had no function and I wasted some time looking for the streaming devices. When I queried this the managers replied: "The TV isn’t a smart model and doesn’t support apps like Netflix or YouTube without a specific decoder.

This place made our trip to London easy and comfortable. Location was perfect.

Stayed with my family in London and we wanted somewhere we could relax. Vauxhall is a vibrant neighborhood but never felt too crowded. We had great communication from the host and easy access. The flat is clean and comfortable. Everything is just a few steps away including buses, the underground, Uber Boats (loved), coffee, great restaurants, and bars. It felt very safe. Right on the Thames, it really is a perfect place to stay. I actually booked it, went to Scotland for a few days, and then booked it again. Whole family was very happy there. We stayed on/off for two weeks and the washer/dryer was such a wonderful thing for us.
