2 Bed House- Piccadilly

Far from ideal…

2.0

Comfortable beds. That’s probably about it.

− This property became unavailable two days prior to our stay due to a burst water pipe (which can’t be helped). The team at Mayfair Stays offered us an alternative in Kings Cross, which is further out than we’d hoped and then the day before the trip they told me that the details of that property were sent by mistake and we were actually staying in Piccadilly. Communication was great throughout but the situation was incredibly stressful. When we arrived, we couldn’t access the property as the front door key was bent. Luckily someone let us in. The tiles in the kitchen floor were all broken and we kept tripping on them, we kept tripping over rugs throughout the property. The facilities in the kitchen were inadequate (no oven gloves and only one tea spoon), and both showers were broken and leaking. This was far from ideal after the stress of not knowing where we were sleeping the day before the trip (I booked it back inn August).

Loved the location! Loved it! The inside could used a lot of work.

− We didn't fully understand that they lay out was so strange 5 floors with a separate room on each floor and the kitchen in the basement with the only full bath on floor 5. The beds were very uncomfortable and the carpet may have been there since the 90zz

− Location, the apartment was run down. Many things were broken. Not family friendly at all. Should have a better description.

Excellent location, not as represented, needs repairs. Lot of stairs and way over priced.

Only positive was the location was excellent. Close to restaurants, nightlife and the underground (tubes/subway).

− Not as represented - The pictures and description is very deceiving. The flat is spread over 5 floors with a narrow steep spiral staircase. Basement was in the kitchen with a tiny powder room, main floor was the living room, second floor was a bedroom with a shower (no toilet or sink), the third floor was the second bedroom with a toilet and sink (but no shower), and the fourth floor was a full bathroom with shower, bathtub sink and toilet. If you stay here you will be going up and down the stairs a lot! Internet did not work, ever. The flat was very hot. Several heaters were turned on and the knobs to turn them off were broken.

Very disappointed waste of money with nothing more than a bed to stay in.

It is very hard to think of anything that was good about the property other than location. We have just got home from our stay and can’t believe that a review from April stated there were only 3 mugs at the property and this has not been rectified 2 months later. We booked for 5 people and only 3 mugs in the house also no welcome pack milk etc 😳 we paid over £600 for 1 night stay. We booked the property and expressed to the owner that we had walking difficulties and needed something local to the theatre which it was, But no point did the owner notify us of the house being spread over 5 floors all the stairs to reach each level of the house and the awkward set up. The eldest guest actually slept on the sofa because they could not keep going up and downstairs to the bathroom on different levels, if you are on the living room level you either need to go down 1 level to the toilet or up 2 levels and for the person staying on the first floor bedroom you needed to go down 2 levels to the toilet / brush teeth or up a level and into the other bedroom to use their toilet. Place was stinking, spider dead and squished on the walls, cobwebs and dirt everywhere. Very poor and intermittent internet. The host is earning a lot of money and I think a complimentary welcome pack would’ve went a long way spending a small amount of the profit on milk / Croissants and cereal options would be our advice. And the heating was on full blast and we could not turn it off and also windows did not open .

− The pictures shown on the add are very deceiving. There is no mention of the house being spread over 5 floors and toilet only on basement level or top floor. On the email it says please contact this number. If you have any problems at all during your stay we had an issue with entering the building with the key code that we had. We sent an email to the contact details and never ever received a response even after getting home.
