My worst ever review.

4.0

Good location, just 10-15 min walk to a Central line station. Good size of the property for a family of four. A big Tesco and a coffee shop just around the corner.

− Very dirty.., especially the kitchen, the oven - horrible, the carpet in front of the oven - no idea when it was last cleaned/washed, same goes for the carpet in front of the sofa. The door of one of the kitchen cupboards was broken before our stay in December 2024 and, apparently, hasn't been repaired since, judging from the subsequent reviews. And all this is without mentioning the bathroom on the first floor and the unidentified hair on one of the pillows. However, I wouldn't mention any of it if it was not the incident from the last night of our stay. We booked the place mostly because of the parking spot as we travelled by car and from abroad. But surprise, surprise, it always looks better than it is in reality. The last night (or early morning), in the day of our departure the rear window of the car was broken and the shopping from the night before has disappeared. A coincidence or not, but it happened a few hours before our departure. Quite unpleasant thing to deal with when you are in a hurry to catch the ferry. BTW, my correspondence with the local police station is still ongoing, but this is another subject of conversation. In a nutshell, think twice when you book and especially if you are by car..

Large comfortable apartment with good access to public transport.

Good location with easy access to the Central Line. Comfortable beds and plenty of space. Folding beds in waredrobe with extra blankets was good. Comfortable furnishings and generally nice and clean.

− Ran out of hot water daily after 1-2 showers which the host told us is ‘normal’?! Missing remotes for the TV’s, host provided two more remotes (one of which was for a different brand of TV so didn’t work-and didn’t rectify this problem. We acquired another remote ourselves so we had full use of fscilities. One cupboard door in kitchen was completely broken off the hinges and sitting on floor on arrival and host did not rectify this. There’s a lot of stairs before you even enter the property and the stairwell access is very rough, flakey paint on walls and unkept. It was lacking basics like tea towels, glasses etc-the host provided extra glasses which was good. Main entranceway (near laundry) and upstairs bathroom both had musty damp smell which wasn’t very pleasant. Balcony off master bedroom had broken flooring and rusting broken window frame laying on ground.

Extremely expensive after damage to my van

2.0

Apartment was good.

− Van was parked in the designated space we were there for 2 nights after the first night my brand new van 10 days old had window smashed and goods from inside stolen. Thankfully no tools were taken. I had to check out after the first night as I couldn’t get the window fixed that day and wasn’t prepared to have more stuff stolen or the van further damaged. The owner said this was nothing to do with them and refused to refund me for the 2nd night. Even though I spoke to the security guard in tescos and he said this happens all the time but the owner didn’t make us aware prior to our stay. This place is ok to stay if you arnt bringing a vehicle but we won’t be staying here again.
