Guest Reviews

• Urmi (1/5): I don’t know what type of person they’re… How they want their guests to stay in this condition? Cleanliness is the last - When I entered the room I rented from May 23, 2026 to May 29, 2026, there was a strong mold smell. I opened the windows, but there was intense heat that was suffocating. It was 30 degrees today, and with the humidity it felt closer to 40 degrees. The place was full of dust, and there were women’s hairs on the bed sheets and in the bathroom. There was a fan, but it was ineffective. I asked the owner to bring me clean towels because the ones in the bathroom were wet. I also asked for hand soap because the container was empty. I requested a second fan, and they sent someone with a fan covered with dust and dirt buildup. It barely worked, and the airflow was very weak. I asked for a clean fan that functioned properly, but the owner told me there was nothing he could do. So I was expected to stay in a sauna-like room, sweating all day and night after paying around $1000. There was no airflow coming into the room, and there was a skylight directly above the bed that heated the bed sheets with direct sunlight. I asked them to change the bed sheets because there was a lot of dust on the bed. I feel like this room was not properly cleaned, or that it had not been rented out for a long time and they rented it to me without cleaning it beforehand. The Wi-Fi barely worked and the signal was very weak. The bathroom was disgusting, and there were green and brown feces stains. They told me this was normal. I took photos. There were also insects coming out of the bed, and they told me it would not cause bites or allergies. I also have photos of this. The room was extremely unsanitary. I asked them to cancel my transaction because it is unacceptable for me to sleep in these conditions. He told me that I would have to handle it myself on my side. I ended up having to book a hotel at the last minute for the day and the rest of the week! They have a lot of bad reviews on booking.com with people complaining like me about the same thing!
• Joanna (7/5): Great location - just needs a few small tweaks to be even better! - Clean and really well located for our purposes - walking distance to the Emirates. Had everything that we needed for our stay. A bit basic in some areas, the kitchen cupboard door doesn’t open properly because it comes up against the light fitting. Small shower cubicle This might just be studio 7 which is in the loft. Whilst the studio was really clean, the products used smelt a bit odd which was a shame.
• Emily (9/5): - Very comfortable bed. Multiple reviews I read complained about the lack of natural light but with two skylights and another window there was plenty of natural light for the small room. It had everything we needed, it was great. The shower door didn’t close properly so the space in the shower was very small.
• salma (10/5): - C’était super Fernando est très réactif et sympathique. Pas loin de l’emirates
• Richard (8/5): Great value and location - Location, price, ease, cleanliness. Bed slightly too soft.
• Sian (8/5): Great place , great value, great owner - Owner was really responsive to issues, fixed a maintance issue immidiately despite it being a weekend. Really accomadating. Apartment was clean and well stocked for such a low price in london. Matress that is described in previous reviews has been replaced . Property is true to pictures listed. Small issue and this is me really nit picking here as the apartment was pretty perfect there was no freezer section to the fridge and a small hob would of been useful but this isnt claimed to be there in the ad for the apartment so its not like it wasnt expected .
• MARLIERE (8/5): - Calme et bons équipements Quand je suis arrivé je ne trouvais pas la boîte à clé et Fernando ne répondait pas au téléphone, heureusement des gens de l'immeuble m'ont aidé à trouver
• Lydia (8/5): -
• Stephen (10/5): - Good communication from the host Television had no aerial but didnt really miss it
• Zeiburliņa (9/5): Overall very nice place to stay if you are visiting London. - Clean, cozy, and good location apartment. I was staying here to visit London with my friend for 3 days, at first we were a bit sceptical about the location, but it was great, bus stops were 5min away and metro was 15min. The host was great, gave very clear instructions. Mattress underneath the sheets were a bit dirty, but everything else was clean.👍🏻
• Mudrinic (10/5): -
• Jacintha (7/5): Good experience overall - The rooms were clean and tidy. Mr Fernando was very helpful and prompt in attending to our request. I initially booked studio 7 but didn't know it was on the last floor. It was hell climbing the stairs due to back pain. The room was clean and spacious, but the ceiling was low. It looked converted. I mentioned my back pain to Fernando, and he assisted in relocating us to Studio 1. The location is good. Close to train stations and bus stops. Also, there are shops around walking distance. The area was safe Studio 1 was so small. We hardly found space for our legs. Mattress is not good atal. Needs changing. I could feel the springs, and I didn't get good sleep because of that. Studio 7 is converted, and the ceiling is low for a tall person(s). The shower sliding door was stiff to open. We reported it to Mr Fernando.
• Rosemarie (9/5): Enjoyed the stay - Quiet and clean Bathroom very small
• Jessica (4/5): - It was a great location from Finsbury Park, it was clean and comfortable. As soon as I got into the toilet, it didn’t flush, and the bathroom sink peeled off and fell onto the floor. I had to call someone to come and fix it.
• Arman (6/5): Ár érték arányban rossz - Tisztaság Túl drága szállás, ilyen felszereltséggel, távol a belvárostól. Kicsi fürdőszoba, 3 éjszakára, kevés szappanal, tetőterben. A mosdo alatt folyt a víz
• John (9/5): - Great location, quiet, lovely area Only thing that would have made it better would have been a fan to use at night. Got very warm inside
• Tracey (9/5): -
• Edward (7/5): Very reasonable and good enough. - Plenty of space and the studio itself was clean. The carpet in the communal hallway was dirty and had some building materials in it, it's easy to sort and needs to be done on a regular basis. Also the shower door was broken and the bathroom sink was clogged and took an age to empty. Easy fixes really. The mattress felt like a low to mid range IKEA mattress, but for three nights was good enough.
• Tobias (8/5): Perfect for short or long time stay if you re ok with a small place and simple but well working conditions and do not v - Good for having a bed and a quiet place . Nice area. Well connected to bus, tube and supermarkets. no clothes horse for washed laundry and no closet. there is only a clothes rack. With some hangers. it’s not really possible to see whats happening outside., one window is on the ceiling the other in an aisle behind the clothes rack . Table is small but ok for one person for working with a laptop or eating. wifi works . kitchen is ok for preparing little meals. washing machine is small, but works.well. everything is clean, Fernando is outstanding friendly and helpful.
• Molly (9/5): Superb -
• Olga (3/5): Overpriced tiny apartment with low ceilings and clogged sinks, stay away! - Location is very convenient. Having a small kitchenette is a bonus. The apartment is very tiny with super low ceilings. I am 5'7", and I hit my head a few times. Bathroom is ok, but again the ceilings are SO low that you cannot use it properly. The sink was clogged. The mattress is absolutely uncomfortable. The apartment is on the top floor and to reach it you have to take narrow & steep stairs. You will live next to low-income families, and the entrance is dirty. For the price we paid the place doesn't worth. Our concerns were ignored by the host since we addressed them after check-out. However, the concerns cannot be fixed immediately. Oh, the pictures just deceive you. Don't trust them. Did I mention that TV didn't have any channels offered, the only locked Netflix and Prime Video. WiFi was very weak, barely working with many interruptions.
• Nick (8/5): Very good -
• Ursula (7/5): Good -
• Carrillo (9/5): Very comfy and amazing service - Perfect size, good area The flooring and pillows could use a renovation
• Shanice (9/5): Fernando was a great host, he was very accommodating to our needs. - The studio was very clean and well equipped. The location made travelling very easy as there was a selection of transport options available.
• Stephen (9/5): Totally matched the description, the stairs are a bit annoying to lug suitcases up but view is nice once you get. Very w - Very well priced for London, clean, comfortable and warm. Great view of the NYE fireworks, close to stations and buses. Easy to get to from town and both main airports. I’d preface this by saying nothing in London is cheap so just don’t expect the same quality and value for money as other cities. As such the below are just things you should be aware of rather than negatives. It’s on the 3rd floor up about 6 flights of very narrow stairs. It’s also very small (typical of London). Be careful of the hot water, it’s very hot and could easily burn.
• Kareem (5/5): Passable - The location The internet was always hot or miss with more misses to often. Couldn’t stream Netflix and the internet kept cutting out
