Guest Reviews

• Mildred (8/5): west London stay - location was great, beds were comfortable..good base for our city break flat needs a spruce up and a more thorough clean
• Cristina (7/5): - Great location, spacious apartment for up to 4 people. Good terrace to have breakfast. The overall cleanliness of the apartment needs to be improved, especially in the kitchen, because all utensils and oven were dirty. The door handles of the bedroom and bathroom need to be fixed as well.
• Diana (7/5): -
• Valeria (8/5): -
• Luisa Pagani (4/5): Non ci tornerei - La zona La pulizia della casa. Il patio inutilizzabile troppo sporco. Non è a livello strada ma sotto di un piano scomodissimo entrare. C'è solo una porta finestra in sala le altre una in cucina e una in camera non si aprono e sono sporchissime.
• Mariscal (9/5): - Limpieza y comodidad para usar las amenidades como la cocina y lavadora. Además la host muy atenta y comprensiva. Recomiendo mucho!! Las escaleras de la entrada son muy pequeñas y cargar maletas puede suponer un riesgo si no te sujetas bien.
• Joan (10/5): -
• Danuta (8/5): -
• Johanna (7/5): - Mycket bra läge för att enkelt kunna ta sig runt i London med buss eller tunnelbana. Lägenheten hade bra utrustat kök o ett fint o lugnt läge mot parken. Bra kommunikation med uthyrarna. Vi hade uppskattat en bäddmadrass till bäddsoffan.
• Iva (10/5): Great location! - The property has everything you need for a comfortable stay and is in a great location. Ester is a wonderful host, available for any questions. The neighborhood is quiet, great for families. You can get to Oxford Street in 10 minutes by bus number 7. There are shops and restaurants nearby. There is a children's playground and a park in front of the apartment. The apartment has its own small terrace where squirrels come to visit. The heating is excellent and the kitchen is well equipped. The double bed is very comfortable for a rest.
• Fabriza (8/5): Very good - The location is great. Nothing to complain
• Samsiah (6/5): Pleasant -
• Marieke (7/5): Good - Very nice location! We were a group of 4 but only 2 beds were prepared, the apartment smelled a bit like someone smoked there, and the bedding in the closet did not seem very clean
• Gavin (8/5): Comfortable Cozy Stay - Just under 5 minutes walk to the Royal Oak tube station, it is a nice walk around the neighbourhood, supermarkets are around the corner. Host is readily available if you need to communicate. Off street parking near the property is not easy to find. Observe the signage for non/permanent pass holders. TV doesn't work well controller for it needs replaced.
• Grace (8/5): Seemless booking, renting and leaving. Ester was accommodating and answered any questions I had. - Location was great! Flat was exactly what we needed for our short stay. Wish there was a light in the garden so we could see at night.
• Tim (1/5): Extremely poor experience. We did not stay in this disgusting, smelly apartment at all. - The kitchen was ok. Main complaint was the dank smell, along with general grubbiness, poor fittings, junk in the cupboards, filth in the overgrown courtyard/patio (unusable), uninviting, old bedlinen and a smelly and grotty key lockbox area and entry hall (very tight and steep with luggage). The images on Booking.com are misleading - we booked on the basis of those images but reality was very different. In terms of value for money it is very poor; had the apartment been the one in the set of images value for money would have been ok. I have an auto-immune condition and we just could not stay in an apartment that we felt was largely uninhabitable. The host offered to have the apartment cleaned, but for ALL of the reasons above we booked elsewhere in London (via Booking.com) and did not stay in this apartment. We did not cancel (for policy reasons) and the host flatly refused to refund us in part or in whole. We have logged a complaint with Booking.com and are awaiting a response. This link shows all of the photos on Booking.com: https://photos.app.goo.gl/6sDiFfSKCPtbyzJp8 You will see that photos 4-21 are of another apartment - this is what we were expecting ...neat, tidy, clean and modern. What we arrived at was the apartment in the remaining photos. How much research and double checking are we expected to do? This link shows a video and photos of the apartment that we took: https://photos.app.goo.gl/f6hzCYA1ozydnqcW7 You will see just how poor and nearly decrepit the apartment and the patio are. It might have been cleaned but it was in VERY poor condition - the approach/entry was disgusting, the patio was unusable, the fittings were awful, the walls and doors had a sheen of grime and dirt and the bed linen and pillows were really uninviting. The only room that was acceptable was the kitchen. What our shots can't convey is the dank SMELL!
• Paul (7/5): Good - Great location to see the sites by tube, bus or on foot Could have been cleaner and the bathroom door handle was broken. The cleaner should have seen it and got it fixed.
• María (9/5): Superb -
• Grace (7/5): A decent place for a short stay. - location is a short walk to 3 stations, very near to many eateries and supermarkets. Waitrose is just at the back mere metres away. Pharmacy is also closeby. Good size and ideal for family of 4. Ester is quick to respond when in touch. I love the hassle free check-in and out. Internet connection is good but TV don't even bother. Despite being a basement unit, you don't really feel enclosed in because of the garden area. Alot of great potential for this unit if renovated. House is quite tired and in need of some upgrade/refurbishment. Not very cleaned unfortunately and the garden is quite overgrown, we didn't even bother to open up the patio doors. Mattress & sofa beds are not the most comfortable to sleep on as it is quite worn out. Staircase down is quite narrow so navigating luggages can be an issue. Just minor inconvenience but if you have disability and have issues with stairs then this unit is not for you. It was extremely cold when we checked in given that it was winter. It took many hours to heat up the place but once it's heated up, all is good.
• Xhaferi (7/5): Good -
• Cazan (8/5): Very good -
• Lisa (5/5): Passable -
• Jessika (9/5): Great apartment great host - The location and the apartment are great. Ester is a great host, she was very welcoming to us and our kitty.
• Daria (10/5): I truly recommend - Everything was fine All good
• Christopher (8/5): Very good - Short walk to train station. Cafe nearby. Secure apartment. Excellent hearing. Stable wi-fi. TV reception a bit iffy - but one doesn’t visit London for the television does one ;)
• Ketika (9/5): Cosy and lovely apartment in great location - It is a really cosy apartment in a great location! I loved my stay there, everything of importance was provided by the host. The patio was wonderful too! At times, the shower water would leak on to the bathroom floor which would be a hassle.
• Seok (8/5): Very good -
• Viktor (8/5): Very good - Great hub to see london, close to metro.
• Amanda (3/5): Very disappointing. I only stayed two of the three nights as needed a bathroom that was usable. - convenient location steep narrow stairs. difficult to negotiate with luggage. problem with bath and sink so couldn’t use. Bath was sorted the next day, sink still not working Bed lamp not working. No yea spoons in cutlery. Very noisy, but I guess that’s just London
• Jasper (7/5): Good - Location, beds and comfort were very good Washing machine and dish washer were dirty, not suitable to use
• Karen (8/5): Great location and comfortable - Great location, comfortable, clean and had a fully equipped kitchen Bathroom sink was loose could be a health and safety risk if not fixed securely back in place.
• Gabriel (6/5): Place with potential not taken care of. - great central location. garden patio made it comfortable. kitchen nice. the place was not clean. not at all. stained and dirty walls, doors, floors, linens (ugh). it shows no evidence of care- - no linens left out. we had to scramble to find some. linens lowest quality and mismatched. -bed springy and cheap. - no garbage bags -no coffee -couch pillows stained with something brown -paint throughout the apartment slapped on mostly and missing in many places. it has a general feel of dirty.
