The Lucia Apartments I - 2 Bedroom Town Centre Apartment - Contractor Friendly - Free Parking - Full Kitchen - Washer Dryer - Spacious - Ideal for Work Sta

Very spacious apartment, central but quiet location. Close to plenty of places to eat and drink. Good kitchen facilities, clean bathroom, good sized lounge and 2 bedrooms made the property ideal for a short break.

There were only 2 towels for the 2 of us (no hand towels or bath mat) but I'm sure the host would have provided these had we asked. Indeed, we were encouraged to let them know if we needed anything. The code for the keybox was not as advised by Booking.com but a quick call to the host rectified this immediately.

Very good location and easy to access.

We have stayed at booking.com properties about 24 times over the past few years, staying at about eight different places. After a five hour drive to get to Huntingdon, the first thing we had to do was go shopping. This is the only place we have stayed at that didn't have tea or coffee provided. The listing also said that toiletries were supplied, but all that we found was two empty bottles on top of the washing machine. There was one small, thin bath towel provided for each person. The shower partition was filthy and the shower head was covered in hair. The plug socket by the dining table was coming away from the wall. There wasn't a lock on the bathroom door. One of the bedroom doors would not close, it wasn't even close to the same size as the door frame. The ironing board was broken, which I repaired myself, but it won't last long as the mechanism is very weak, and the cover is not the right size for the board. The confirmation of the booking stated check-in was 15.00 and check-out was 11.00, but then we had quite a few emails stating that check-in was 16.00 and check-out was 10.00, but we could change these for a charge of £20. The listing says that it can be for up to five people, but the plates and dishes in the cupboards would only be enough for two to three people. I don't know if this was all down to the cleaner not doing the job properly, but as the property is run by a hotel name, we thought the standard would be a lot higher. It is a shame, because the apartment itself is very nice and has a lot of potential.

Perfect location for town and local area

Just could do with a link of paint and some new flooring

Cleanliness

keysafe code was wrong and unfortunately the contact number given was not answered. Luckily the barbershop guy helped me to ring the landlord directly.

Host was accomodating. Exactly as seen.

N/A

I loved the look of the property from the initial glance and that it was central to town yet quiet in location

I didn't like that there were no towels available other than one kitchen towel. The rug in the images online was folded up downstairs and was the first thing you see as you walk in was this dumped on the washing machine. There was a hoover left in the middle of the living room area and I felt sad that I couldn't even have a basic cup of tea in the morning

Very clean had everything you needed

It was very dark getting into the property needs outside light

Proximity to Paddington Station which has multiple tube lines. Nice surrounding area. Landlord worked with us to drop bags early and gave helpful information when arriving.

Drafty in kitchen and some outside cooking smells coming in. Low light as it is on a ground floor and while windows can be open they would open to neighbors to look in. We were told we were the last to stay there before a full renovation so things should get better.
