Guest Reviews
- Cheree (2/5): Not a nice place - Central to the city The property smelt like rotting wood. It stunk, walking out of the room there was rubbish and piles of it.
The bottom of the staircase was filthy and littered with mail and rubbish.
- Rosalind (5/5): We enjoyed our stay because of its position. - Location
Warm
Space Washing machine didn’t drain
No lift
Doors to apartment and building difficult to use
Common areas dirty
Piles of garbage outside front door
- jordane (5/5): Emplacement parfait, en revanche ne venez pas pour le logement en lui même, qui n’est clairement pas entretenu, l’odeur - L’emplacement est parfait
Proche du métro et du centre L’escalier des parties communes est d’une saleté et puanteur horrible
Idem pour la salle de bains du logement.
L’isolation est inexistante, on entends tout ce qu’il se passe dans la rue, le froid rentre.
Le canapé lit est tout taché et sale. Une fourchette pour 4 personnes et une cafetière qui ne fonctionne pas.
- VIVIANA NOYA (10/5): - La ubicación, la calidad del departamento Nada
- Mudicante (7/5): Bello lo consiglio - la posizione dell’appartamento Le scale avevano un brutto odore e per 5 giorni di soggiorno per 4 persone ci ha lasciato solo 2 rotoli di carta igienica.
- Marta (6/5): Boa localização mas com melhorias a reparar - Excelente localização. Proximidade de transportes e supermercados. Zona tranquila e segura. A passagem pela escadaria até ao apartamento é irrespirável. Esta questão de limpeza da zona comum já foi comentada várias vezes e parece que nada foi feito.
A cozinha não está bem equipada. Falta loiça e alguns equipamentos não funcionam.
- Tamazin (2/5): Terrible - Only the location Damp and mould, flies in the room, horrible smells and it seems bed bugs. I left a day early due to all of that and have requested a full refund
- Matthias (3/5): - top lage. Fenster undicht. kein Klobesen. Laut Fotos und Beschreibung wirkte die Unterkunft so, als wäre das Schlafzimmer separat, das war aber nicht so. Badezimmer und Eingangsbereich stinken nach Katzenklo
- Ana Caroline (7/5): Ótima localização - A localização é ótima, a estação do metrô é muito perto, e a região tem muita estrutura. Um mercado, restaurantes. Excelente. A escada tinha um cheiro muito forte de lixo. Na entrada havia muitas correspondências atrapalhando a passagem. Na porta de entrada o piso estava afundado, tinha um desnível. O fogão não funcionou. A máquina de lavar roupas não seca e o anfitrião não dispõe de nenhum lugar para estender a roupa.
- Nuria (6/5): Muy mal olor en el hall - El apartamento esta a bastante bien La entrada, las escaleras olían muy mal, teníamos q subir y bajar tapándonos la nariz, era insoportable el olor de la moqueta y la madera
- Riccardo (1/5): Io, mia moglie e un topo - Posizione ottima a due passi da St Paul e dalla rispettiva fermata della metro. Pessima esperienza dopo 3gg quando abbiamo trovato un topo nella cucina. Il proprietario ci ha detto di pazientare finché non arrivasse qualcuno il giorno seguente per controllare. Con molta insistenza per ricevere un rimborso immediato o altra sistemazione ci ha fornito un appartamento per due notti, nell’attesa di mandar qualcuno ad eliminare il topo. Dopo esser tornati nell’appartamento il topo c’era ancora, il proprietario non è stato per nulla professionale, nonostante gli innumerevoli messaggi e richieste per garantirci e offrirci un’altra sistemazione a sue spese. Non abbiamo ricevuta nulla di tutto ciò.
L’ingresso aveva le scalinate sporchissime e puzzolenti. Appartamento in discrete condizioni, scarsissima manutenzione, mobilio del bagno danneggiato in molti punti, numerose infiltrazioni sui soffitti, serramenti e finestre fragili senza minima insonorizzazione dai rumori esterni dalla strada.
- Uma (4/5): -
- Yardena (3/5): Lyssna på mig nu, bröder och systrar. Det är inte värt att lägga ”lite” pengar för denna typ av bostad speciellt inte fö - Boendet låg nära till stan och kollektivtrafik och det var bra. Vi fick lämna våra bagge tidigt men mot en avgift. Det luktade så fruktansvärt illa i hela trapphuset av mögel och fukt. Vi fick hålla andan varje gång vi skulle in eller ut. Under dörren till lägenheten och hallen i lägenhet var helt fuktskadat och det luktade mögel i lägenhet. Bäddsoffan var sönder. Dörren till sovrummet smällde högt och inte att ha öppen om man inte satte något för. Det stod att det skulle finnas tvätt maskin men det gjorde det inte. Utgången var också täckt av sopor och det slängdes inte på flera dagar.
- Mgr.Radoslav (7/5): - Poloha ubytovania a blízkosť dopravného spojenia Jednoznačne strašný zápach zatuchnosti, plesní pri príchode na schodište v ubytovaní
- Lance (3/5): Very poor and we departed early - The location is great Workmen in the flat trying to solve the leak in the flat above. The water was off for the afternoon when we left early
The hallway floor was sodden and soaked through and was starting to lift. Walking on it squeezes water from underneath. The floor had swelled so much that the front door was sticking
There were problems that they were trying to put right but it wasn’t fit for guests
- Radu (1/5): Pessimo! - Una nota positiva la posizione Miri che perdevano acqua, lenzuola sporche, asciugamani sporchi, cattivo odore nel bagno, nessun ascensore e soprattutto c’era un topo nell’appartamento. Foto su Booking ingannevoli! Non prenotate siamo scappate la notte stessa e non siamo riuscite ancora ad avere il rimborso, ci abbiamo rimesso oltre 1000€ in 3
- Suelen (5/5): Pour un sejour 2jours max. - Le logement est très bien localisé et bien servi des transports publics et de magasins. La douche de fonctionne correctement, il y a pas assez d’équipements, il y avait une fuite de l’eau par terre et la porte n’est pas assez sécurité.
- Nuno (5/5): Suficiente - Localização Quem dorme na sala, devido ao barulho exterior é dificil adormecer..
Limpeza da escada
Lixo em sacos acumulado na entrada da escada e um cheiro wue não se pide.
Chão do apartamento levantado.
- Eloi (3/5): Que una familia no pueda hacer uso del baño es un gran problema. La mezcla de orín de gato , humedad y mezcla de comida - La ubicación El baño muy viejo y mal oliente , no pudimos hacer uso de la ducha…
- Elena (9/5): It covered all our needs - The location, the facilities and the host was excellent The entrance of the building needs a lot of love.
- Barbara (1/5): Honteux ! - Uniquement l'emplacement de l'appartement Il est inadmissible de louer un logement dans un tel état !
porte d'entrée sans aucune sécurité (un simple loquet de fermeture...), traces de moisissures sur les plafonds ainsi que sur les murs, taches, douche sale, plinthes cassés, appareils de cuisine défectueux, lit dans le séjour cassé, appartement pour 4 personnes et seulement deux chaises pour prendre les repas..., parquet au sol cassé, port de placard cassée,...
Les parties communes sont dégoutantes et l'odeur et épouvantable !
- hoang (9/5): Lovely cozy little place, practical, great location, good value for money, would def rebook! - Great location, everything was easy to find and easy check in, easy check out etc, place was great too, lovely and cozy and all I needed so good value for money. Lovely host, all very communicative, would defo come back, thank you! If any feedback at all I’d say there’s just a smell coming from the toilet unfortunately but guess can be common and hard to get rid of. And the kettle could also use a clean, especially if no filter:)
- Rebecca (4/5): Wont use again - The smell of the nearby restaurant waste food was very strong, the laminate flooring was very sticky, obviously from drinks being spilt. I doubt the carpet on the staircase to the apartment has ever been hoovered either.
- Joanna (7/5): -
- Elisenda (9/5): Correcte i be - Super ben situat i ben comunicat amb el transport públic, la parada de metro a 1 min
El personal molt atent, el dia que vam arribar no funcionava la persiana i no hi havien penjadors i ens ho van solucionar de seguida. El bany està vell, els mobles del bany estan reinflats i fa pudor
- Giulia (7/5): Capodanno a Londra - Posizione appena fuori dal centro ma con la comodità di avere i trasporti vicino ( metro e bus)
Zona tranquilla e con locali carini
Staff gentile e disponibile
Letto matrimoniale in camera comodo e appartamento carino
Ottima scelta per passare i giorni di Capodanno Il riscaldamento del bagno non funzionava
E il divano letto in soggiorno era poco stabile
- Adilson (8/5): Tivemos dias incríveis em Londres. Voltaria a me hospedar neste apartamento - A localização é fantástica. Bem próximo a St Paul e do metrô. Tem várias opções de mercados e restaurantes próximos ao apartamento. O apartamento é confortável para um casal. O hall e as escadas de acesso ao apartamento precisam de uma limpeza no carpete. O cheiro do carpete incomoda ao passar no local. Como estavam em obras, acredito que a solução do problema é simples, e que deve ser solucionado após a conclusão da reforma.
- Liserani (5/5): - Soluzione funzionale anche se per 4 persone risulta un po' piccola
Posizione comoda e ben servita da metro e autobus. Ingresso dello stabile molto poco gradevole, con un odore sgradevole già dall'entrata
Pulizia migliorabile all'interno dell' appartamento, dotazione della cucina limitata.
- Lionel (8/5): - L'emplacement est parfait. Communication facile et rapide. Les lieux sont visiblement mal entretenus, beaucoup de choses sont cassées. En soi, cela n'empêche pas d'y passer un séjour, mais pas sûr que le prix de la location soit justifié au vu de l'état du logement.
- Tamara (1/5): NO CUMPLE CON LAS NORMAL DE HIGIENE Y SALUBRIDAD! HABÍAN RATAS - Nada, estaba sucio, habían ratas!! Me fui del departamento! Solo estuve 2 noches de 4 NADA! Es un departamento que no cumple con las reglas de higiene y salubridad, habían ratas en el baño!! Había mal olor en el Depatamento! Un desastre de lugar! Inicie un reclamo para que me devuelvan el dinero
- Ashley (6/5): - The location and check in ease was great. The pull out couch bed was broken, it would fall apart multiple times during the night.
- Riccardo (5/5): Tutto sommato ok per la posizione, ma il resto non é per niente come in foto. Suggerirei un restauro generale. - La posizione è ottima e la cucina ben attrezzata Il termosifone del bagno era spento e scollegato dalla rete idrica quindi il bagno era congelato.
All’ingresso della struttura c’era un odore nauseabondo e spazzatura ovunque.
Rumori costanti tutta notte.
Il divano letto é scomodissimo.
Il pavimento in casa era praticamente rotto.
Le tende non tutte funzionanti.
- ELVIRA (5/5): - La ubicación es excelente. La calefacción también es muy buena. La ropa de cama era insuficiente, el sofa comá tenía un edredón que no cubría toda la cama, por lo que para dormir te destapabas seguido. En la cama principal tampoco estaba muy bien.
El olor que sube por las escaleras es muy desagradable.
La cocina solo tenía 2 sillas y la reserva era para cuatro personas
Hay mucho ruido por la noche, principalmente por la recogida de basuras
- Victor (4/5): Buena elección si solo vas a dormir - Era fiel a las fotos, apartamento limpio y con servicios. La entrada era insalubre, la escalera olia muy mal a orina de animales y daba sensación de suciedad.
La puerta del apartamento no tenia cerradura fija para poder cerrar la puerta con llave
- Steve (6/5): Nice spacious apartment but tatty and needs upgrading. Filthy carpetted steep and narrow staircase to the second floor. - Well located and spacious. Good facilities A bit tatty and run down. Missing door on cupboards, dishwasher didn’t work properly. Filthy stair way up to the apartment with what looked like vomit on the carpet on the landing. Loads of hairs. Like it hadnt been cleaned for ages.
- Tiago (3/5): A eviter!! Mauvaises odeurs... Pas isolé - Les conseils du propriétaire pour les visites, le lit confortable Appartement dans un bâtiment de plusieurs étages. Donc cage d'escalier partagé... l'odeur est immonde dès qu'on ouvre la porte d'entrée du bâtiment. Les escaliers sont couvertes d'une sorte de moquette, qui est pleine de taches de tout... vomis, café renversé, bière... les chaussures forcément mouillés qui viennent aussi de la rue, et qui font donc que la moquette soit mouillé et que les odeurs ressorte encore plus. L'escalier est raide (forte inclinaison), très difficile à monter pour des personnes âgées ou des gens qui ont une poussette comme c'était notre cas.
Puis il y a la salle de bain... une odeur immonde encore une fois, fenêtre qui datent des années 80' en bois, très abîmér, laissant passer toute humidité, bruits, etc... les chauffage ne fonctionne pas dans la salle de bain donc il faisait un peu près la même température qu'à l'extérieur... en décembre... donc 6/7 degrés. Pas facile avec un bébé .
Le studio en soit est très petit, je dirais 15/20 mètres carré, on penser avoir une chambre isolée mais c'est pas le cas, du "lit" jusqu'à canapé il y a un petit espace de 1 mètre... donc si vous allez entre amis, vous n'aurez aucune intimité.
Bref... très mauvaise surprise pour un prix de presque 800€ pour 4 nuits ...
La bouilloire avait du lait sèche a l'intérieur...
Le lave vaisselle dégager une odeur insupportable également
Les fenêtres du "salon" et cuisine, ne pouvais pas se fermer avec le loquet donc toujours ouverts... heureusement on était au 1er étage. Tous les bruits étaient présents à l'intérieur comme si l'on était à l'extérieur.
En face il y a une église, donc réveil garanti par le son dès cloches dès 7 heures le matin
Je ne pensais pas que c'était possible tomber sur ça à Londres
- ANNA (5/5): - It was right behind st Paul's church in a very clean and quet part of the city centre. Close enough to all important landmarks.
It was also big enough for two-three people.
The kitchen was well equipped for a short stay. The entrance to the building has the most vile smell and is visibly dirty.
The toilet smells really bad too and looks run down generally.
The pillows and bedsheets looked and smelled as if they had been used again.
- Mailys (8/5): - Le rapport qualité prix est excellent, en plein centre de londres à proximité de nombreux transports en commun. L’équipement tout était super! Il faudrait peut-être refaire l’isolation, il y a beaucoup de nuisances. Et il manquait une brosse pour nettoyer les toilettes.
- Marta (1/5): Avoid this place. There are rats. - Valóban jó helyen van. Worst place ever! A RAT shit in the bed. Utolsó este egy patkány befészkelt az ágyba, beleszart a lányom pizsamájába, az ágy lábához és a konyhába. A tulaj nem volt hajlandó kitakarítani, sem másik szállást biztosítani. Elköltöztünk és annak a költségét sem hajlanó megtéríteni.
Aludni legfeljebb csak füldugóval lehet, mert annyira hangos, mintha az utca közepén lenne az ágyad. Négyünkre volt 2 takaró, egyik dupla, a másik viszont két főnek kicsi. Hiába kértünk plusz takarót, csak egy lepedőt kaptunk. A kihúzható kanapé borzasztó kényelmetlen. A lépcsőház undorító büdös, nagylevegővel futottunk a bejárattól a lakásig.
- Mariangela (6/5): - la posizione eccellente Pulizia
- María (8/5): - La ubicación genial, muy bien conectado con el metro
- JEAN-FRANÇOIS (7/5): Bien mais potentiellement avec quelques travaux cet appartement pourrait être encore plus agréable ! - La localisation dans Londres et la pièce principale agréable... ... mais donnant sur une rue bruyante tôt le matin (livraison, poubelles, etc...) et les odeurs d'extracteur de cuisine du restaurant en dessous dans la salle de bain !!!
- T de (8/5): Wonderful for easy London city access - The owner kindly let us drop off our suitcase in the morning of our stay.
Position was excellent. Facilities good and like how condiments and tea and coffee were supplied. The entrance and hallway urgently need attention
- Janie (2/5): -
- Kreshnik (9/5): -
- Cremonesi (1/5): - Ingresso fatiscente spazzatura ovunque , scale con sporcizia.
Nell’appartamento lavastoviglie non funzionante, box doccia che non si chiudeva, luce in cucina tremula
- Timea (9/5): 😊😊 - Jól felszerelt lakás. Egy kisgyerekes családnak megfelelő hely rövid tartózkodásra. Nagyon közel van a katedrális, üzlet, éttermek, metrómegálló és buszmegállók. A lépcsőházban levő szag, ami a dupla ajtó miatt nem jött be a lakásba.
- Jose (9/5): Ótima localização e apartamento bem equipado - A localização é perfeita e o apartamento é bastante limpo e confortável, porém havia uma obra no interior do prédio e o cheiro de tinta e outros produtos de pintura era um pouco incomodo, mas no geral é muito boa. Cheiro de tinta e massa de pintura fortes pela obra que estava sendo feita no primeiro andar. O alarme de incêndio também disparou algumas vezes por alguma falha no sistema, mas a administradora do imóvel foi sempre muito solícita e disponível para buscar soluções.
- Ewa (7/5): -
- Eryka (8/5): -
- Maria (8/5): Durch die Super Lage war es ein schöner Aufenthalt - Die Lage war wirklich so toll. Zu fuß konnte man alles erreichen aber auch Ubahn und Bus waren sehe nah. Das war das erste mal, dass ich in London war und habe mich sehr wohl gefühlt in dem Viertel! Vorallem Nachts als junge Frau war es sehr gut! Ich denke die Unterkunft ist etwas älter, daher war auch das Mobiliar nicht perfekt. Auch die Haustür wirkte etwas unsicher mit der Verriegelung.
- Sally (8/5): Very suitable for our trip. Good location - Clean, convenient, comfortable No toaster
- Maryke (10/5): -
- Radoslav (10/5): -
- Andrea (10/5): - Appartamento pulito e con tutto il necessario.
Marco sempre disponibile e contattabile.
Posizione ottimale. Lo terremo sempre in considerazione per eneventuali viaggi a Londra.
Ottimo.
The apartment was clean and equipped with everything you need.
Marco was always available and accessible.
The location was excellent. We will always consider it for future trips to London.
Excellent.
- eduardo (8/5): Recomendable - Ubicación y tranquilidad. La limpieza Hay que darle una vuelta al apartamento hay algunas cosas que se podrían mejorar, pero dentro de lo que hay está bastante bien
- james (10/5): -
- ZAGITOV (5/5): -
- yolanda (6/5): Muy mejorable - La ubicación, al lado de la Catedral. Se puede ir andando a los principales sitios y monumentos.
El dormitorio tenía mucho sitio para el almacenaje. El baño, es muy pequeño y precisa algunos retoques, como la mampara.
Las escaleras y el portal estaban muy sucias y con malos olores.
No había cosas básicas en la cocina como servilletas o algún mantel, ni paños de cocina o papel de cocina .
Las almohadas muy, muy finas, incómodas.
- Lesley (5/5): - close to underground the restaurant next door’s rubbish at our front door, was disgusting
- Francesco (8/5): Ottima posizione e host disponibile - Posizione ottima, ottimamente servirà dai mezzi pubblici. C'è qualche problema con il recupero delle immondizie e con la lavastoviglie, che va sostituita o riparata.
- Sarah S (8/5): - Fantastic location and the room was clean and had everything we needed.
- Benjamin (4/5): London is very expensive, this property will put a roof over your head and keep you safe. thats it! - Location as great. there was an iron (no ironing board) the apartment is very dark, nothing like the adjusted/edited pictures. The entrance was poorly maintained and their was a smell that i can only describe as some sort of rodent infestation (mouse/rat). There is nothing in the apartment. not much care or attention. many things could be easily and cheaply improved to make it nicer!
- Tom (8/5): -
- Cindy (8/5): -
- Richard (9/5): Superb -
- Lynelle (8/5): Very good -
- Arun (5/5): Passable - Location Pricey
Bathrooms reallynin bad state, with windows sealed with toilet paper
Smell bad in apartment and common areas
Window in living area not sealed, loud noise from street
- Piyada (9/5): Superb - Good location. The property staff take a very good care during our stay. the area nearby made a little smell of cooking and the smell of the garbage at the entrance of the building.
- Linda (9/5): Superb -
- Erin (8/5): Very good - The location was lovely, very close to St. Paul's. The apartment size was good for two people, with quite some space. The front door was not very easy to handle, we almost locked ourselves in the apartment.
- Rositsa (10/5): Exceptional - Marco is a very kind host. The location is very good for walking in London.Next time we will choose this place again
- Ileana (10/5): Exceptional - The room was clean
- Iva (8/5): Super - excellent location in the center Staircase
- Smith (7/5): Good -
- Taramati (10/5): Exceptional -
- Anna (9/5): We enjoyed our short break in this lovely apartment. - The location Nothing.
- Milena (9/5): Superb -
- Hugo (10/5): The perfect apartment in a perfect location. - A truly wonderful apartment - perfect location, beautifully clean, quiet at night and it has everything one needs. It was just what I needed as I had two big dinners in Central London and a major event at St Paul's Cathedral. Being so close to everything made the two days so much easier and having such a comfortable bed made a very busy time so much more manageable. Thank you so much. Next time I need to stay in London I will definitely look to stay at your apartment.
- Elizabeth (8/5): Our stay was convenient. The property is so well situated as it is very accessible to public transport. I will recommend - Location is good. Amenities met our expectations. Very accessible to the top attractions of London The toilet needs a little prepping up.
- Andrew (3/5): Not good - Location was great, central and easy access to Tube transport. We were underwhelmed on arrival after a long haul flight. The entrance stairs smelled so foul that we had to hold our breath going up. The apartment itself was well equipped, although we didn't cook or use the kitchen facilities as we couldn't spend any unnecessary time in the room. It too smells.
- Paul (5/5): Okay, but had issues - Great location for City
Bed is fairly comfortable
Kitchen is nicely done.
Shower was decent. The hallway smelled of damp, possibly a recent leak. The building fire alarm was beeping all night. The windows need repair, so all the external noise of bin lorries, customers of restaurant, and neighbours burglar alarm was audible during the night. Light bulbs flickered so badly, it created headache. Bathroom was in poor condition.
- Søren (6/5): Pleasant - Very central Small bed. Worn down and smell from the below restaurant. Lot of noise
- Richard (8/5): Ideal for work - Location great It’s fine, just a little tired
- Pat (10/5): Perfect flat for a short stay - The flat was perfect, the location was brilliant and everything was easily accessible. The host was very helpful and accommodating, we had a great trip. We used the kitchen facilities to make tea one night and for breakfast both days and found we had everything we needed.
- Dominic (5/5): Great location - Great location Basic, small, smelly
- Jo (6/5): Amazing location, comfortable apartment, some amenity issues - Location was amazing! Layout of the apartment was nice to have bathroom in middle of living room and bedroom We had some frustrations because a lot of items were broken, including the sofa bed, the laundry machine, and the toilet paper holder. There is NO air conditioning, only fans. Also it was very difficult just to open the front door of the unit due to some tightness of the door against the ground. Additionally, we were told by the owner that the unit was on the first floor (1 up from the ground) but it was actually 2 up.
- Susana (1/5): The perfect (read Disgusting) way to ruin your holiday - The place is literally a stone throw away from St Pauls and thus super central - but not worth it once you read everything we had problems with 1. The noise from people outside and the people upstairs did not allow us to sleep. Super loud garbage trucks/ construction trucks passing by early morning
2. The bathroom had stale smell throughout - the electric ventilation is spoilt and not replaced so you have to keep the window open (caretaker sent a cleaner, plumber who said the exhaust was broken so we had to keep the window open which brought in cockroaches and insects that bit us for the next days )
3. The bed is of metal and has screws protruding out on the left + sharp edges so you keep hitting it at all times .
4. The kitchen didnt have a basic cuttin board to cut an apple or a cloth to wipe the counter ( the care taker had to send it later - but these are basic things, you dont need to ask for them)
5. We found 3 cockroaches in 4 days
6. The entrance is an area full of garbage bags - so you're welcomed by garbage which stinks
7. The locks didnt work properly
Basically all this led us to solving issues with the stay for 30% of our time. Also now that i read the comments in more detail people had complained about exactly the same things and the host did nothing to change or improve that
- Escobar (4/5): Good location, inside is acceptable but outside is really bad, garbage and durty - Great location, host very responsive and dilligent, very well setp up as shown in the pics Very bad entrance, Garbage in the door outside the building, very durty stairs to enter the facility, bad smell in the badroom.
We had very hot days (not usual in London) and the solution was asking for a fan that arrives next day.
- Rachael (10/5): Exceptional -
- Petra (7/5): The location is what you pay for - The location is absolutely amazing. The flat is located in the heart of the city of London which makes it extremely convenient to explore London. Marco was a great and friendly host who shared all the useful information about check in and check out procedures and he also answers any question you have quickly. I recommend this flat if you only want to sleep there and take advantage of the location. The pictures are quite misleading, the flat is darker. It’s not this sunny and bright. It is also quite run down, drains in the bathroom were clogged, opening and closing the shower door was a struggle. The entrance to the building smells like horse stables because of the carpets that are used to cover the staircase. The bistro located under the apartment keeps their garbage bins right next to the entrance. The whole place would benefit from some sort of refurbishing.
- Esther (7/5): in London for just some nights and basic is fine for you, I would recommend this appartment. - I liked the location. close to shops, subway, restaurants. Wifi and tv present and all appliances in the kitchen. The coffee machine didn't work. Would be handy to have some instructions. The bedbank was a bit hard. Bedbank and bed are nearly in front of eachother.
- Mariano (2/5): Nice place but everything was not working. - Central and nice place. The washing machine was not working. First fix damaged part of the clothes and left a very bad smell on the apartment and our clothes. Very sad ending.
- Juan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Thomas (9/5): Superb -
- Ewout (1/5): HORRIBLE - Smelly appartment, curry at night, eggs in morning
Sofa bed is so hard, impossible to sleep on
Trash at front door where you have to step through
Very noisy apprtement
Shower is old and dirty
- Greta (4/5): Disappointing - Location The apartment was basic and unwelcoming. There was a strong smell in the stairway as you arrived into the building.
- Melissa (6/5): Pleasant - Great location!! The listing claims it’s for four people but it was not comfortable for four people. The bedroom mattress was too firm - didn’t sleep well. The living room couch converted to bed but was also very uncomfortable. Too many things felt very cheap quality or about to break like kitchen stools and drawers. There was no good place for a woman to use a blow dryer or do hair and see in a mirror.
- Elayne (8/5): Very good - Love the location The apartment had a weird smell.
- Angela (6/5): Lovely apartment but needed a few things fixing. Great location. - It was a great location. Very cosy and comfortable bed. Nice apartment. Felt safe and happy there. It was a great base to explore London lots of places around to eat and a convenient Tesco Express and it was nice and warm in the apartment with a great TV and good Wi-Fi. The smell in the entrance was dreadful. We had to hold our breaths to go in and out of the property. A few things were broken .. the freezer wasn’t cold, one of the bedside lights didn’t work. The bowls weren’t really adequate for cereal and the shower door and toilet roll holder needing fixing.
