− Please do NOT stay at this property. During our stay there were repeated water leaks from the ceiling into a live electric light socket. We contacted the host, the first host ignored our message, the second host reassured us this was ‘safe’ and ‘habitable’. They refused to arrange relocation or alternative accommodation for us, and then finally organised for the property management engineer to come and assess the property only after we insisted . The host asked us to not disclose that this was a short-term rental to the property management company. During the engineer assessment we learnt that the air-conditioning unit in the ceiling where the leak was originating from was not plumbed into any waste disposal system so therefore the condensate water was leaking directly out into the light sockets. There had been a waste bucket intentionally placed where the disconnected pipe was and said bucket was overfilling and leaking into live electrics. The property host is unaware that I discovered this. The property host continued to assure us that this property was safe and habitable despite the electrician having to isolate and remove the electrical socket in order to prevent an electrical fire. The letting agent (Letwise) have been consistently unprofessional and threatening in their messages since the stay. I have reported this listing to the management company of the building for suspected breach of leasehold and also to Wandsworth council and trading standards for their continued letting of this property, despite knowing that it poses an electrical fire risk for its inhabitants

We loved the location and it was very spacious and clean

I was anxious prior to arrival that this would seem too good to be true and the booking would be cancelled, especially having heard previous stories regarding London properties however I did not need to have worried. It was exactly like the pictures and everything was spotless. The beds were really comfy and everything seemed quite high spec. We had requested a travel cot on booking which had been confirmed but unfortunately this didn't appear to have been passed onto the new hosts ( I wasn't aware of the change of host until this issue). I contacted them by message and it was quickly resolved within a few hours which was appreciated. The area felt safe and once we got our bearings it was easy to get to places.

− We found it a little hard to find at first, as the building is tucked away and having to go a short distance for the keys made the arrival a little awkward. It would have been handy to have a welcome pack sort of thing explaining working the hot water and kettle etc which would have reduced the cold showers that were had until we found the boost button. We booked due to it being advertised as family friendly, and although it had been confirmed to me prior to arrival that no highchair would be available, it really would have helped at meal times and assisted towards the family friendly accolade.

Lovely home large spacious and clean! Host very responsive 😍
