Guest Reviews

• Sebastian (8/5): - Reading lamps around bed did not work and no immediate fix was to be found.
• VIKTORIYA (1/5): Абсолютно не рекомендую ці апартаменти і цього власника. Sconsiglio vivamente questo appartamento e - Я написала господарю помешкання за два місяці до заїзду прохання чи могли б ми заїхати в приміщення трохи раніше десь о 12.00-13.00, так як наш літак прибував у Лондон о 7 годині ранку і ми були дуже втомлені. Ніхто мені тоді не відповів. Відповіли, що ми не можемо заїхати раніше 15.00 тільки за декілька днів до заїзду, коли вже не можна було відмовитися від бронювання. Господарі на контакт не йшли, тільки відповіли один раз сухо і формально. Ми з валізами ходили по місту втомлені і були на іншому кінці міста, коли нас повідомили, що валізи ми можемо привезти і залишити після 11.00. В цей день у мого чоловіка був день народження і я замовила і оплатила столик у SkyGarden на 16.00, тому ми приїхали о 14.00 залишити наші речі, і квартира в цей час все ще була не прибрана. Ми годину чекали на вулиці, щоб все ж таки зайти в приміщення, переодягнутися і виїхати по справах. Коли ми зайшли в апартаменти я помітила, що вони не відповідають тому, що ми бачили на фото. Квартира була запущеною, старою, подертою, з чужим волоссям у комоді, і навіть на обідньому столі в кухні. Ручка одного вікна взагалі була зламана, стіни обшарпані, у душі скрізь пліснява. В меншій кімнаті стеля нижче 160, тому треба бути обережними. Окрема розмова про сходинки до апартаментів! Вони дуже круті і вузькі. З валізами і рюкзаком підніматися, ще й якщо не має поручнів, то ціла епопея, і особливо, коли ви з 3.00 ночі на ногах. Я була дуже розлючена, коли спробувала підключитися до wifi і не змогла цього зробити, бо пароль не підходив. нажаль, в цей день я використала свій телефонний інтернет і не могла повідомити власника, що пароль не підходить. Тільки наступного дня ввечері мені вдалося написати власнику, що він дав не правильний пароль. Ни вибачень, ні взагалі нічого. Надіслав новий пароль і все. Дуже люблю місто Лондон і наступного разу, коли сюди приїду буду більш уважна. Абсолютно не рекомендую ці апартаменти і цього власника. За ці гроші 529 євро за 3 ночі, можна знайти щось дійсно краще. Due mesi prima dell'arrivo, scrissi al proprietario dell'appartamento chiedendo se potevamo fare il check-in un po' prima, intorno alle 12:00-13:00, dato che il nostro aereo sarebbe atterrato a Londra alle 7:00 del mattino ed eravamo molto stanchi. Nessuno mi rispose allora. Solo pochi giorni prima dell'arrivo, quando ormai era troppo tardi per cancellare la prenotazione, mi dissero che non potevamo fare il check-in prima delle 15:00. I proprietari non ci contattarono più, rispondendo solo una volta in modo sbrigativo e formale. Girammo per la città con le valigie, stanchi, e ci trovammo all'altro capo della città quando ci informarono che potevamo portare e lasciare i bagagli dopo le 11:00. Quel giorno era il compleanno di mio marito e avevo prenotato e pagato un tavolo allo SkyGarden per le 16:00, quindi arrivammo alle 14:00 per lasciare le nostre cose, ma l'appartamento non era ancora stato pulito. Aspettammo un'ora fuori per poter finalmente entrare, cambiarci e uscire per andare al ristorante. Quando siamo entrati nell'appartamento, ho notato che non corrispondeva affatto alla foto. L'appartamento era fatiscente, vecchio, trasandato, con capelli di qualcun altro nel comò e persino sul tavolo da pranzo in cucina. La maniglia di una finestra era rotta, le pareti erano rovinate e c'era muffa ovunque nella doccia. Il soffitto della stanza più piccola è alto meno di 160 cm, quindi bisogna fare attenzione. Un'altra storia sulle scale per arrivare all'appartamento! Sono molto ripide e strette. Salire con valigie e zaino, anche senza corrimano, è un'impresa epica, soprattutto dopo essere stati in piedi dalle 3 del mattino. Mi sono arrabbiata molto quando ho provato a connettermi al Wi-Fi e non ci sono riuscita perché la password non funzionava. Purtroppo, quel giorno ho esaurito la connessione internet del mio cellulare e non ho potuto avvisare il proprietario che la password non era corretta.
• Susan (6/5): Very compact apartment in good location - Washing machine and dryer and very functional kitchen. Proximity to underground station and supermarket. Suitable for a short stay. Extremely compact with narrow stairway and internal stairs. Limited room for suitcases. Noisy upstairs neighbours, possibly shift workers.
• Kelly (8/5): Great stay, location great and easy/friendly check in/out. Thank you - Location
• María (6/5): - El baño, muy alto, de hecho tienen una banqueta para que puedas sentarte en el inodoro
• Tomás (9/5): -
• Luis (10/5): - El apartamento está genial, somos familia de dos adultos y dos niños, es ideal para familias. Las instalaciones estan muy bien, la cocina completa y con todo lo necesario para pasar unos días. El cuarto de baño correcto. La ubicación es perfecta, a pocos minutos del metro con conexión a las zonas turísticas. Es muy luminoso y muy tranquilo, no se escucha nada de ruido, ni de la calle ni de vecinos. Barrio residencial tranquilo y seguro, con supermercados y todo tipo de comercio en la zona. Los colchones son muy blandos, habría que pensar en ir cambiandolos.
• Inês (9/5): -
• Prajwal (8/5): -
• Yedizza (8/5): -
• Sam (6/5): -
• Felicia (7/5): -
• Jennifer (6/5): - Located near family Noise from flat above - the floor is just old and creaky. Drain in shower made noises all night. Whole place needs some TLC. WiFi code was wrong. Description needs a warning about steep steps to flat and dangers of the steps by bed.
• Ian (3/5): Disappointed - Location Cramped accommodation and uncomfortable bed. Thin walls so noisy neighbours made themselves felt
• Benedetta (8/5): -
• Rebeca (10/5): -
• Ian (2/5): I would not recommend this place - Only the location The furniture was dangerous (a stool collapsed when I was on it), the bathroom had the stench of raw sewage and the bedroom bathroom were crammed into a ridiculously small space involving stairs
• Eriona Papa (6/5): Poteva essere un po’ meglio - L’appartamento si trova in un quartiere molto bello. Super vicino si trova la District Line che vi porta benissimo in centro di Londra in 20/30 minuti. Vicino a casa ci sono tanti pub e posti in cui si può mangiare molto bene. L’appartamento è mansardato, ma quello non è un problema per me. Il problema è arrivarci, tantissimi scalini, molto stretti e per il corridoio c’era tanto odore di muffa/umido. La casa di per se non era proprio male , ma la pulizia lascia molto a desiderare. Sappiate che il wc è elevato su uno scalino e serve uno sgabello per arrivarci. In una delle camere da letto invece è stra pieno di segni di umidità sui muri , e proprio sopra il letto c’era una lampada che purtroppo perdeva acqua e faceva cadere tutto sul letto ed ero obbligata a asciugare tutte le volte il piumino. La Wi-Fi c’è, ma non so perché nel nostro caso non andava.
• Clio (2/5): Do not recommend. Not like the photos - Close to West Kensington station. This place was so small and crammed. The bathroom sink was the size of an airplane sink and the bathroom floor always got soaked by the shower as there is no separation from the shower to the ground. It was extremely over priced for what it was and was not very clean or tidy like in the pictures. There was dust and dirt on the floor upon arrival, there was dust all round the bed and underneath the bed there was a lot of garbage. Parts of the trim on the wall and baseboards were missing showing the interior of the wall and so were some floor boards. The bed was very uncomfortable and the pillows were basically flat and empty of stuffing. The washing machine didn’t work either and when you tried to use it the entire thing shook the apartment until dishes fell off the shelves and the washing machine rocked itself 10cm out from under the counter top. Overall would not recommend this place. very misleading.
• González (9/5): -
• Marta (8/5): Good accomodation and location -
• Maria (10/5): Overall great, I would definitely recommend the house - The house was very cozy, comfortable location, warm, spacious. The host didn't respond to my messages.
• Rocio (8/5): Ubicación excelente. - La ubicación es excepcional, a dos minutos de la estación de metro. Barrio muy tranquilo, con supermercado, restaurantes, farmacia...al lado del apartamento. La dueña atenta en todo momento, respondía a los mensajes en menos de 5 minutos, nos ayudo en todo lo que pudo, sin duda un acierto el apartamento y la relación calidad-precio muy buena. Solo tuvimos un pequeño imprevisto al llegar y fue que los anteriores inquilinos no se habían marchado del apartamento a su hora y por lo tanto no estaba listo/limpio para nosotros. Tuvimos que avisar a la dueña para que nos lo solucionara y así fue. En media hora esas personas salieron y pudimos dejar nuestras cosas en el apartamento, irnos a ver la ciudad como teníamos pensado y al volver el apartamento estaba limpio, recogido y todo listo para nosotros. La dueña en todo momento se encargo de todo. Solo hay que tener en cuenta que el apartamento está en el cuarto piso, y hay más de 70 escaleras para subir y bajar, pero el apartamento está muy bien
• Nele (10/5): Exact wat we nodig hadden - Locatie Niets! Alles was naar wens
• Birgitt (2/5): Sehr schlechter Zustand, der Preis absolut nicht angemessen. Nicht zu empfehlen. - Das Einzige war die gute Bahnanbindung, ansonsten war der Aufenthalt schlecht. Die Fotos sind schon ca. 8 Jahre alt und die Wohnung befindet sich nicht in dem Zustand wie abgebildet. Es gibt keinen Kleiderschrank, der Balkon ist sehr herunter gekommen und nicht mehr entsprechend möbliert. Das Bett ist auf einer Seite durchgelegen, das Schlafzimmer lässt sich nicht richtig abdunkeln, es waren Bauarbeiten in der gegenüberliegenden Wohung, das Licht war hier die ganze Nacht an und schien direkt ins Schlafzimmer. Es war sehr laut im Haus, wenn der Nachbar in seine Wohung ging, hatte man das Gefühl, er steht gleich neben dem Bett. Der Mülleimer ließ sich nicht verschließen, der Deckel war kaputt. Wir mussten ihn auf den Balkon stellen und mit einem Hocker verschließen. Einen weiteren Müllsack gab es nicht. Das Spülbecken hielt das Wasser nicht, im Badezimmer fehlte der Stöpsel im Waschbecken ganz. Die Badezimmertür ließ sich nicht mehr richtig schließen. Ich habe 4 Mal versucht mit dem Vermieter Kontakt aufzunehmen, leider habe ich keine Antwort erhalten.
• Michael (7/5): -
• Carl (8/5): - The room was great balcony superb Nothing
• Megan (10/5): Great value for money in a fantastic area! - Great location! The flat was well equipped with a washing machine and everything we could have needed. It was quiet and peaceful and the hosts are lovely (we were so appreciative of the earlier check in!) The flat is fairly small however this didn't bother us.
• Marius Maximilian (6/5): -
• Pilar (4/5): - Cerca de una parada de metro La cama está encajonada entre la pared y una escalera y la terraza del vecino está dentro de tu terraza, no hay ninguna intimidad
• Aleš (7/5): A good place to stay - Perfect location, lovely and calm neighbourhood, a lot od shops nearby unpleasant communication, a request of invoice was not fulfilled, missing wardrobe or any suitable space for clothes
• ELENI (2/5): The flat was not well-maintained and had an unpleasant odor upon arrival. Cleanliness was below expectations. The only p - Close to tube stadium Very dirty
• Michel (9/5): Très bonne expérience - La literie et la propreté L’emplacement L’isolation des fenêtres
• Nicholas (10/5): -
• Graham (6/5): Pleasant stay, near to where we needed to be, cosy place for either one or couple - Location
• Anne (5/5): The hottest and stuffiest place I have ever stayed and I’ve been travelling for almost 40 years to many different hot co - Great location This property is not suitable in summer weather. It is a top (fourth) floor apartment with no air conditioning. One room has no opening windows. There were fans which do nothing more than circulate hot air. Outside was 34C and inside this apartment must have been around 37-39C - completely unbearable. The room with no opening windows could not be used at all as was even hotter than the rest of the apartment. The bathroom is an interesting design with the toilet above a ledge about 25-30cm off the floor with a child’s step stool provided so you are able to use the toilet! To reach the apartment it is up a very narrow staircase with shallow but high steps which are somewhat uneven with no banister on some stretches. This apartment needs (as a minimum an air conditioning unit and something better than a child’s step stool for the toilet.
• Daniel (8/5): Very good - Great location to get into central London. Great number of shops etc if we needed anything
• Rubasinhage (7/5): It was good to stay. But until the last moment property didn’t respond on my early check in request - Easy to traveling access point(Tube). More Restaurent options and Cafe on that same building corner was excellent. Its really good for a budget stay It was so hot inside the apartment. It’s better to have AC or a bigger Fan. We went during a heat wave, so couldn’t use quilted blankets, But there’s no any other option either. So better to have both options as well considering the weather too.
• Viktoriya (10/5): Cozy apartment in a lovely neighborhood - Very cute and cozy little apartment. We had everything we needed and the host was very responsive and helpful. The neighborhood was super nice with many places to enjoy a cup of coffee or a delicious meal. Multiple public transport options. Definitely would recommend!
• Helen (8/5): Very good -
• Kristina (7/5): Very adequate London studio - There were no kitchen utensils but when I asked the property manager, he bought new ones and brought them over straight away. The windows didn't shut properly so it was a bit chilly in the morning and evening.
• Phoebe (9/5): Pleasant stay close enough to central London - The location was convenient, close to the tube. It was nice to be able to sit outside. Communication with the host was easy. The water cooker was dirty and the bed was very small. A little too small for two friends, but probably fine for a couple.
• Grace (10/5): short but sweet !! - compact but decent size with all facilities needed. great price for london. 1 monture form west kensington tube stop. bathrooms gets a bit wet when having a shower
• Giulia (8/5): Very good -
• Andrew (10/5): Great flat - Perfect location for my trade show at Olympia, clear and simple directions for check in. Fully furnished flat, very comfortable bed, perfect shower, great kitchen facilities. Very happy with my stay. Not a big thing but no toilet roll...the timing of discovering that was unfortunate but not a big issue!
• Jordan (8/5): Very good -
• Fanni (7/5): Good - Location Communication
• Themiya (10/5): Exceptional -
• Maddi (7/5): Good -
• Keston (8/5): Was a good experience - Location was excellent. The stairs especially when you have luggage. Bed was to soft.
• John (7/5): Enjoyed our weekend away but will definitely find a quieter place to stay next time - What we liked most was the location which was absolutely perfect for our planned weekend Very noisy from the traffic and civilians coming back from night out , needs a little updating
• Sanjin (7/5): Good -
• Zsófia (7/5): Good - The location was very good, the metro station was close, and there were several shops and restaurants nearby. The accomodation was clean and cozy with a well equipped kitchen. Unfortunately, the noises from outside were very loud and the heating stopped several times, which made the apartment cold sometimes.
• Wency (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lorraine (7/5): Have a nice weekend. Location was close to the tube. Facilities were good. Host was quick to respond. Only downfall was - Property was spacious and had all amenities Good value for money very good location. We didn’t realise it was 68 steps to the apartment, and can’t remember if this was mentioned in the listing might be a good idea to do so.
• Hristiyan (9/5): Superb - Perfect location and really clean. Shower head needs to be replaced.
• Ian (6/5): Not a great first impression,strange smell grubby paint,windows let in noise - Location , towels were good quality,the bed was comfortable , kitchen ok with washer Strange smell possibly the drain, paint looks ready for a fresh coat, the windows let noise in .And yes it was noisy until 2am from outside ,I could also hear upstairs walking around. The TV only works on demand
• Samantha (8/5): We enjoyed our stay, would recommend to someone who is able to make it up the flights of stairs 😀 - The flat was nice, cosy and had WiFi, situated in a safe area, easy to get taxis to and from places cheap enough, would stay in this area again. The host was lovely and she was easy to get hold of when we needed the key information and how to get in The flights of stairs are a killer if your not well or have disabilities, didn't realise how many stairs there were to get in. It felt like rapunzels stair case, so not good if you got buggy or kids but it's definitely out the way and safe to leave your stuff and car.
• Zala (10/5): Exceptional -
• Olesja (7/5): Good -
• Lily (10/5): Perfect place for a short stay in London! - There are a couple of close-by tube stops, which makes travelling easy. The place itself is a great value for money. I really appreciated that the host had left additional plates, glasses, etc so using the kitchen was made easy. There was also things like tea and coffee that was provided, which made the stay overall really comfy. I would definitely recommend staying here! The only minor complaints I have is that the shower can overflow which makes the rest of the bathroom wet, and also the bedroom door is slightly stiff from the outside. However, these are really minor and did not detract from the stay.
• Carlos (9/5): Superb -
• Daniel (8/5): Very good - Cozy flat in very nice area, several good restaurants and supermarkets in walking distance. Excellent access to several underground lines and buses. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. One bedroom has a very low ceiling which might be uncomfortable for tall people, though our children liked it.
• Kelly (5/5): Passable - There was no e-mail for the instructions on how to get into the apartment until a day after we left. The host said they sent the instructions but I did not receive them until after we left. I had to find the phone number and call the hosts to get the information to get the key and the unit number!
• Emma (8/5): Very good - The toilet was a too high
• Kamil (10/5): Comfortable cosy place. - Easy access close to tube.
