Jenny's Place

Good location, all amenities we needed in the same area

Wasn’t very clean when we got there. Had to spend an hour cleaning it ourselves. The kettle was really bad, looked like something had been in the kettle, not sure what. We just left it, had no tea or coffee for the entire stay. Microwave had crumbs in it from previous use. Hob was dirty.

It was a huge nice apartment

Location

Furniture & hot water boiler. Jammed doors of both bed rooms which someday wl cause big problems

In general I like this place with large and comfortable accommodation. All things I need were there. Clean and fresh, light is bright. It's near the bus stop and tube.

The key is not in the same building. There should be introduction to market/shop nearby. Even google/apps works for that, sometimes guests still need to see maps directly.

The location is good as the place is in a safe and new area and there are many shops around the apartment building. The apartment is decorated and has the necessary items needed for a short stay.

The check in details are only made available once we registered in a link and asked for a deposit of £200 on the spot and it’s not a cleaning fee. The key pick up and key drop point is far from the property itself that it’s in a different part of the town. It is almost an hour’s walk or a 10-15 min drive by Uber from the apartment building to the shop where you get and drop off the apartment key. This costed me up to £10 PER TRIP so for a few trips back and forth, so be ready to take a long walk or spend up to £50 for the key trips if you don’t have a car with you. From experience, keys are usually located near the property itself or at least a quick walk or in a secure key-box within the building but the owner obviously does not consider the time and cost of getting the keys. The apartment could be made cleaner as we could feel and see dust on the floor and room carpets. There was a key for the master room window but it didn’t open so the room was stuffy. The cutleries didn’t look very clean so we washed them before use. The flush in master room toilet doesn’t work normally, you’d have to push both flush buttons hard a few times to get it to work. And although we didn’t expect much in terms of toiletries in the toilets, there was a bare minimum of cheap shower gel and hand wash. The TV was not connected to the home wifi and it never connected even when we fixed the modem cables. The internet was not available at first as the modem cables were attached wrongly and so we fixed it. The sofas look dirty and had lots of stains. Maybe we were used to the hospitality of the accommodations we stayed at before this where the hosts made sure beforehand that everything is welcoming, clean and convenient with items working well, but the overall feeling of this place was like we were granted a favour to stay there for free by a reluctant host.

It doesn't look like the pictures

Firstly, you cannot collect the keys from the property, you have to collect them from the most roughest and dodgies corner shop 20 minutes drive away. The shop is not conveniently accessible by the tube. Trust me! Secondly, there is no parking onsite unless you want to pay £48 a day! And there is no convenient parking around you either. When I tried to phone the hosts/those managing the booking, they did not understand a word I said (I am British), and we couldn't solve anything between us! And finally, they make you clean the whole house! I mean you cannot leave a cup out of place, even take out their trash, otherwise you get fined the £200 they make you pay before collecting your keys as a deposit!! They do not tell you this until you request to collect the keys It's took me 14 working days to get my deposit back!! Do yourself a favour, do not stay here

very big space, very bright, good location
