Family-friendly home in London

Would absolutely not recommend.

The location, for the event we had, was quite good. Overall if you wanted to be in central London, it was a 45-60 minute journey in with multiple trains and tubes.

− I don’t even know where to start! The cleanliness, the bug infestation or the extremely sketchy reviews!!! My friends and I recently stayed in this property for 2 nights as we had an event nearby. We’d traveled to London before and know that it’s an expensive place to visit and you don’t always get your moneys worth, but this property was nearing inhospitable. We arrived at the property in disbelief, the outside area needed some care and attention but again, we weren’t expecting anything amazing by as we’d seen the pictures. When we entered the home, we were greeted with an unpleasant smell of damp and hamsters. The blinds were closed and lights off making it dark, despite it being 5pm, which didn’t help the overall feel of the place. The cleanliness of the property was subpar, with dirty glasses, stains and hair on the bedding and towels, dust and grime in the kitchen and the back garden was a mess. As mentioned, there was also a very unpleasant smell, especially in the front main bedroom and lounge, which we didn’t use during our stay for that reason. The worst part of our stay was the bugs, we had some of the smaller windows open to keep some fresh air flowing and help with the smell but what we were greeted with was a swarm of daddy long legs flying around, we had 10 in the kitchen at a singular time, with more upstairs in the house, and this continued to be a problem through our stay. It got to the point that on the Sunday morning when we were set getting ready to leave, my friend showered first and yelled “there’s only 2 in here now and 1 dead in the plug hole, god knows where the others have gone”. Bugs are a problem when having the windows open and that’s to be expected, but to this degree, it’s a serious problem that needs addressing. Also, to top it off, the owner had turned the boiler and all radiators off, which in my opinion is poor hosting. I saw the overall rating of 8.

Our stay wasn’t enjoyable

It’s spacious

− The property was very dirty and unkept when we checked in. Dirty sheets on all the beds and very dirty kitchen and living room.

Good location and easy to get to. Ideal to get to Tottenham stadium or Liverpool Street via train. Would stay again in the future.

Horrible!

− Our Honest Review After Staying at This Property We rarely leave negative comments, but we believe it is important to share our experience in the hope that the owner will take it seriously and that future guests will be spared similar issues. The Pros: Finding family accommodation in London during the summer can be challenging. This property’s location is relatively good – the neighbourhood feels safe, with nearby local shops and convenient access to the motorway. Turkey Street station, around 15 minutes on foot, links to the London Underground network, which was helpful for our travel plans. The Cons: Unfortunately, cleanliness was the lowest we have experienced in any accommodation. We found hairs on the bathroom door mats and even on some ‘fresh’ towels. Behind a cupboard, we discovered used, dirty towels when trying to access a wall socket. The floor and carpet felt greasy. The toilet and bathroom windows were coated in dust and grime, and I was barely able to sleep due to being bitten by dust mites throughout the night. Things worsened in the morning. As we stepped into the kitchen for breakfast, our socks became soaked — the floor was flooded with water of unknown origin. This raised serious safety and hygiene concerns. Overall, the photos, reviews, and ratings on booking.com did not reflect the reality of the property. At a rate of £200 per night, this was deeply disappointing. We hope our feedback is taken constructively — no customer should have to endure such an experience.
