Guest Reviews
- Audrey (7/5): -
- Annie (7/5): Location was excellent, hosts were very approachable. Location great, very close to buses and tube. - Spacious apartment for three persons. The stairwell to the apartment was very shoddy. There was only one bathroom.
- Cornelis Roeland (6/5): Matige accommodatie op goed plek en fijn voor 6 personen die weinig eisen stellen aan slaapplek - Locatie en aantal slaapkamers Verouderde bedden en de rest ook
- adrian (8/5): - La ubicación. Cerca de conexiones y lugar tranquilo. Pues detalles, cubiertos y vasos justos o insuficientes. Papel de baño insuficiente y servilletas ausentes. El grifo de la ducha se caía. Y las cortinas del salón no eran oscuras teniendo en cuenta que hay un sofá cama.
- Ayse (7/5): - Omgeving centraal fijn De hal was vies bekleding
- Marii (8/5): Great! - Location and convenience, everything close by and cool apartment. The key didn’t work but host was very responsive and we managed. Some water pressure issues in shower and nit enough shower products for the stay. Same with toilet paper, had to buy extra. Could have had more plates glasses etc for this amount of people that can stay there. We had to drink our wine from mugs.
- Guest (8/5): -
- Raquel (7/5): Muy buena ubicación pero mala limpieza - La ubicación excelente. Conexiones en metro y autobus La limpieza en general de los suelos, el polvo, la grasa en la cocina. También faltan vasos y cubiertos, no hay tenedores nu vasos para 4 personas
- Cassandra (1/5): -
- Thomas (2/5): - Sehr Schmutzige Wohnung
Fast alle Geräte Defekt oder in sehr schlechtem Zustand
Badzimmer Renovationsbedürftig
Alles in sehr Schlechtem Zustand
Wohnung Zustand entspicht nicht den angegebenen Fotos
( Alles sehr schmutzig und Defekt
- George (5/5): - The flat was clean, and there was good communication with the host. There was damp on the ceiling in one of the rooms, which wasn't visible in the photos on the property page. The Yale lock on the door was not fully fixed to the door - it was loose. It's a nice flat but needs a bit of TLC
- Ulises (9/5): Merece la pena! - Buena ubicación, práctico y cómodo para recorrer Londres. Zonas comunes algo sucias.
- juan rosalina (8/5): - Spacious living space and near the city centre The hallway is ao dirty, tiny, ans outdated. The apt could use handle foe the stairs as it can be dangerous for older people or kids to go up and down.
- Talia (7/5): - Nice and accessible staff. The location of the apartment is outstanding. It was warm and cozy in it. As a family with children, it was important to us that the apartment had a washing machine and a well-equipped kitchen for self-cooking. The hot water in the shower stops every 5 minutes and you have to wait until the water heats up again, which makes taking a shower a nightmare. We were cold at night and there was no way for the staff to bring another blanket for the child. We are used to cleaning up after ourselves and today we don't have the means to do so. There was no broom, mop, rag, and we had to buy toilet paper for ourselves for the entire period.
- lorena (8/5): Lo recomiendo - La ubicación es perfecta. El baño es incómodo
- Kristi (9/5): -
- florence (9/5): -
- Malin (8/5): Vi var meget glade for at bo der. - Beliggenhed og inddeling Nogle møbler var slidte og med pletter
- Álvaro (8/5): -
- Helen (5/5): It needs a bit of tlc broken blind, front door lock hanging off, communal stairs disgusting dirty and dangerous - Good location Beds comfy
- Etienne (7/5): - L'emplacement en plein centre ville est parfait, le lit est confortable. Salle de bain petite, plancher très abîmée.
Manque de propreté.
- Gemma (9/5): -
- ALICIA (9/5): Cómodo, agradable y con una ubicación espectacular! - Me ha parecido estupendo. Cómodo, funcional y una ubicación espectacular!!!! El anfitrión, Marco, muy agradable, super servicial y dispuesto a ayudar en todo momento. Gracias!! Muy contenta en general con todo!! Con ganas de volver! Podría haber sido un poquito más grande (el baño es muy pequeño y la ducha, el agua, difícil de regular), pero ideal para una estancia corta.
- Gil (7/5): - Kitchen, living room and balcony were very nice Small outside staires, 4th floor without elevator
- Reb (7/5): Fab location with spacious layout upstairs - Fab location
Trendy place
Facilities are good/fair
Some missing kitchen utensils tht we needed
Bedrooms clean and comfortable
Layout upstairs was good n spacious Bathroom becomes stuffing quickly
Perhaps needs bigger extractors?
Hallway - is disgusting. Badly need cleaning
Talk to neighbours and agree together !!
Broken cupboard in the bathroom doesn’t look good
Needs replacing
Kitchen utensils were missing
No instructions of how to use dishwasher or hobs/oven
It d be good if we r told tht extractors would need to b switched on when enter the bathroom with an explanation of why
- Maria Herminia (8/5): -
- Saloni (5/5): - Location Very dirty Staircase and its on second floor. And there was a rat in the apartment.
- ilke (7/5): -
- GERMANO (5/5): - Posizione ottimale, molto silenzioso e tranquillo. Molto comodo da raggiungere con pub, supermercato e bistrot nelle vicinanze. Pulizia del locale scadente, puzza di fognatura e umidità nel bagno. La scala per accedere alla stanza era rivestita di moquette macchiata e indecente
- María Belén (4/5): - La ubicación La suciedad del edificio en sí. No estaba tan bien equipado, no había elementos para secar el piso del baño. Nos pasó de encontrar el pan que habíamos comprado todo picoteado, desconocemos por qué, ni pudimos confirmar si eran ratas. La relación precio/calidad no fue buena
- Sille (6/5): Käib kah. - Väge hea asukoht kohvikute, poodide ja teatrite lähedal. Puhas ümbruskond, suhteliselt vaikne. Korteri väliskoridor oli kole, aknad pesemata, remont korteris oli tehtud, aga kehvasti.
- Audrey (1/5): Pas du tout honnête, À FUIR!!!! - L’emplacement À FUIR!!! Le logement est insalubre, pas entretenu, pas du tout conforme aux photos, le mobilier est cassé, le linge de toilette est taché et pas remplacé!! Une catastrophe, une honte, j’ai pris des photos tellement c’était affreux! 2000€ pour 4 nuits c’est du vol!!! Tout est taché cassé sale, tout est entièrement endommagé !!! Rien est entretenu, le propriétaire encaisse l’argent et point barre!! Nous venons plusieurs fois par an à Londres, nous ne remettrons jamais les pieds dans ce logement et je ne le conseillerais à personne bien au contraire!!!
- Bethany (7/5): Good place good location -
- Beth (10/5): Fantastic location and gorgeous flat, perfect for a family of group of friends looking for a short stay in London - Location was brilliant and having a terrace made all the difference! The staircase leading to the property is a bit dirty and dated.
- Roger (3/5): Veel te dure accomodatie voor deze prijs - Locatie aan rand van Covent Garden Zeer slechte onderhoudsstaat van hele appartement
- Dinsdale (2/5): Dirty, Falling apart and potentially Unsafe - Location was good. Upon entering we went up 3 flights of stairs with the filthiest carpet you have ever seen (see photos) and dirty walls. The apartment initially looked ok, but looking closely it was noticeably the worst workmanship Ive ever seen (see photos) - laminate flooring and skirting boards coming apart in various rooms as well as the floor outside the bathroom feeling like it would actually go right thru !. A cupboard in the living room that collapses if you open it. A fridge that doesn't close properly because the kitchen cupboard door has been badly fitted to it. Grout missing from much of the tiled floor. Masking tape still on badly painted edges in the bedroom. Badly half done silicone seal everywhere - with black mold on it in the bathroom (see photos) . A hanging light fitting that looked like it was coming away. Some kind of exposed electrics / switch in the kitchen area (see photos). Badly rotten window frames throughout the building. Apartment door made of MDF instead of a substantial proper door, would be easy to kick thru. The place is not only dirty but cheaply and badly done out, but it's got potentially many health and safety issues. Spend the required money and get this place done out professionally and made safe before something bad happens here.!.
- Anya (8/5): -
- Richard (8/5): -
- Szlobo (8/5): -
- Debbie (8/5): We would stay again and we would recommend, but just don’t have high expectations - Location for central London was perfect.
Comfy beds. Great communication from the host. Clean and adequate facilities. Entrance to apartment via steep steps quite grubby. Could benefit from a touch up of paintwork and basic maintenance of furnishings. Cleaners did their best with what they have so it was ok, but with a deep clean and a days work with decorators it would be marvellous.
- Sarah (6/5): Great location, good space, good value - Excellent location (we walked everywhere) plenty of space for six of us, really lovely to have a bit of outside space on the balcony. Flat looking a bit tired, only one bathroom, sofa bed broken, common areas in poor condition.
- Tammy (6/5): Excellent location. Property is suitable for a couple - The location was fantastic The bathroom. It is very small and the shower is a wet room. That’s explained in the description but I somehow missed that.
- Ashley (2/5): Catfish of a Stay - The flat is near the tube which was convenient. The hosts were nice and accomidating when we asked to drop our bags off early. We traveled across Europe with our two toddlers and both sets of in-laws for 4 weeks. This was the worst place we stayed the entire trip. A total catfish. The bathroom flooded every shower and had a constant smell of mold, there were scuffs and scrapes on every wall, paint peeling off the walls, and the furniture was stained. We spent two nights here and I couldn't wait to get out of there.
- Osman (3/5): Great location but low value - Perfect location. Easy to reach every crucial spot in london. All the attractions are within walk range Room was not clean at all. Dust were all over the place. Apartment was refurbished but floor was very bumpy. Lastly someone got into our apartment and drop his stuffs without asking our permission when we are out of the apartment.
- Maria (5/5): London stay - Property was really central which we like . Close to tube line and walking distance to lots of things Outside of apartment and stairs very dirty . Bathroom very tiny and bedrooms tiny . Flat needs sprucing up and a little TLC
- Gonçalo (5/5): Passable -
- John (8/5): Very good -
- Ross (10/5): The apartment had everything we needed and made a good home base for 5 days in London. The apartment wasn’t in perfect c - The location was great and it the apartment had everything we needed. The bathroom was small and some of the furniture and the floor were in not great condition.
- K (3/5): Poor -
- Emil (9/5): Superb -
- Jasmine (9/5): Great fun weekend - Great property, clean and great location N/a
- Sarah (8/5): An enjoyable and comfortable stay in quiet area in Holborn area. - Quiet street location
Comfy beds
Buses go right by High Holborn, a couple of minutes walk away
Definitely a warm flat in the middle of winter Communal staircase carpet definitely needs refreshing
- Jorge (10/5): Exceptional - I recommend booking this apartement 100%. My parents, uncle and myself stayed there for three days and we loved it. It's in a quiet area but nearby the main atractions of London. It is a warm apartment and it has everything you need –even if you want to cook at home–. Again, Marco is a star and his place worth every penny.
- Benjamin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sophia (10/5): Exceptional -
- Danielle (6/5): Pleasant - The bathroom was not very clean and the pull out couch and one of the beds is a bit broken and not very comfortable. The location and service was great though and it was very spacious.
- Laura (7/5): Excellent location but the apartment requires renovation. - Location perfect and spacious apartment. To access the apartment there were very dirty staircase. The apartment was acceptable in terms of tidy and clean although shower room and kitchen require urgent renovation.
- Mojca (8/5): Very good -
- Lisa (8/5): Host very helpful and in hand if needed them , great area definitely stay again - The area was lovely , great pubs and restaurants near by The hall way was old and tired , dirty carpets but the apartment was fabulous
- Karen (7/5): Great place to meet up with family/friends provided all party ok with lots of stairs! - Nice kitchen, with good electric goods and cutlery/crockery, cute balcony, great location, quiet, comfortable beds, dogs can stay too Stairs v steep and narrow and hallway lights not working, glad I had torch with me
- Jon (4/5): Decent value for money but could do with a bit of TLC. - Location was good. Breakfast over the road was nice. Carpet looked as though it had been through the war.
3 TVs of which zero worked.
Shower head didn’t stay up and went freezing cold rather frequentably.
Few rogue screws on the floor to keep you on your toes.
Other than that it was perfect!
- Kirsty (10/5): Great location and value for money! - Fab location and great sleeping accommodation downstairs and living/socialising upstairs! Easy check in and responsive staff! Marco was lovely. Drainage in shower, but reported to management company.
- Aditya (7/5): Good -
- Alice (7/5): Value for money if sharing between 4 people. - Good location. Responsive host. Comfortable bed. Extremely think curtains - kept out little to no light. Mold in places in the bathroom. Extremely smelly drain smell in bathroom. Very small bathroom to share for 4 people and flooded out a few times.
- Johanna (8/5): Very good - Good accommodation suitable for a small family, perfect for 2 adults and 2 children. Quiet area with close proximity to transportation and a central location. Comfortable beds, duvets, and pillows. The sofa bed was also very comfortable. We all slept very well! The bathroom is a bit small and the staircase narrow, making it somewhat inaccessible, but it is an old building so it is completely understandable. The shower curtain rod was not securely fastened, which contributed to the curtain not being able to be drawn back, in turn making the room feel even smaller.
- Olivia (7/5): Ok - The location was very central. Had lots of restaurants and quick access to the underground! The room smelt damp and the pull out bed wasn’t comfy and had a funny smell too. The shower in the bathroom is more like a wash room and it kept flooding.
- Kerry (5/5): Location A* - I wish I could have left 10/10 , location was great close to cafes for breakfast, walking distance to pubs and restaurants, tube was round the corner and bus stop, we walked from Euston so amazing, little parks near by bonus with kids Sadly the apartment, I hate leaving negativity but with kids I have too , yes we knew it was 4 lots of stairs but at least hoped it was safe especially with kids , stairs were tight with turns no handle bars pitch black if you come back when it's dark :(
The bathroom was a big problem for us , no shower curtain water went everywhere we had to use towels which we only had 8 of
Problems everywhere marks on furniture,that I photographed run down terrace area though great to have outdoor space, only used the fridge in the kitchen
- William (10/5): Superb - Easy to find, great spacious living area along with a perfect terrace to enjoy the weather.
- Camila (6/5): Pleasant - Good location We were really disappointed with the apartment; it was not what we expected, nor was it what was shown in the photos (in the photos, it looks bigger than what it actually is). The toilet only has scalding hot water, the toilet seat was broken or not installed, the floor outside the bathroom sinks, and the wall mirror was not properly secured—we had to fix it several times. The location is very good and the neighborhood is very quiet, but the price is not worth it.
- Annie (2/5): Uncomfortable, unhygienic as feet were getting wet if you want to use the toilet as shower was flooding - Location The bathroom, shower is flooding all the time if you use it.
- Paul (5/5): Great location........ - Dealing with Marco was very easy and replys came very quickly. Location of the apartment was very good and had everything you needed. The apartment itself is very tired looking with some quite shoddy workmanship, especially the bathroom.
This just doesn't work as it should, with water from the shower leaking out into the hallway and lifting the laminate floor, meaning the door is difficult to open and close.
The communal areas for all apartments in the building are in a very poor state, badly stained carpets and dirty banister rails and only emergency green lighting, quite dangerous at night.
- Sunita (8/5): Overall this is great value for money for such a a perfect location and comfortable suite. - Host is very responsive and friendly. Check-in / check-out process is very straightforward. Location is ideal and really central.
Suite was clean and well equipped for 4 people. Some elements could use some repair / modernisation (flooring; bathroom), but
- Patricia (1/5): The worst experience of my life at the location of an apartment. - Nothing, everything was all and broken, the beds were really uncomfortable, the bathroom very very dirty, not functional, many equipments doesn’t work and were really dirty as the stairs the walls. Everything, beds, furnitures, bathroom, floor , awful small from outside the bathroom. The tiles missing at the kitchen.
- Christin (8/5): Excellent placement, great place to relax and sleep. - Although he apartment shows signs of being well used, it was just what we needed to relax in the evenings after exploring the city. Great for a family with teenage kids; separate bedrom a big pluss! Close to bus stops and Sainsbury's. Excellent communication with the host, easy to get in and out using the key box. The stairs from the street up to the apartment are quite dark and filthy. However, we were happy to se the apartment was much nicer when we got in. Low shower pressure, so needed extra time to clean long/thick hair.
- Veneana (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect location in central London, close to metro station and at a walking distance to main touristic attractions. The sofa transforms into a big size bed and it is very comfy even for 2 people. Although we didn't use the kitchen, it was well equipped. The bathroom was very clean. Perfect communication with the host! The flooring tiles in the kitchen/living room need replacement as they are unglued. From the bedroom window, you can hear the ventilation of a backyard's restaurant, but it closes around 11pm.
- Khoa (8/5): Very nice spacious apartment with excellent location. Close to Holborn station. Many restaurants nearby. Perfect for cou - Location is brilliant. Spacious. Comfortable for two couples. Full amenities of kitchenette, fridge.
Excellent communication and clear instruction to get into apartment. Just a minor feedback. There is no clear separation from the shower to the rest to bathroom. A longer curtain may prevent the non shower area from getting wet. A bath mat may be helpful as well.
The sofa bed is a bit dated and can do with an upgrade.
Traffic down below can be a bit noisy for those sleeping on sofa bed but closing windows should be ok.
- Andrea (8/5): It was a great place to stay, perfect for us and would love to stay again in the future! - It was cute and a quiet area. We loved that, while away from the hustle and bustle of the city, it was just around the corner from the underground station and several bus stops. There were some amazing little cafes right across from it and plenty of little stores close by with a park at the end of the street. The space was great and the private balcony was perfect! The bathroom did have a very strong mold smell. If we kept the bathroom door closed during the day while we were gone the smell would be really bad when we got back so we kept the bathroom open to help keep it aired out. The washer smelled pretty bad of mold and there was a lot of mold in the ring of the washer - we grabbed some cleaning stuff and gave it a good scrub that worked perfectly! We made sure we left the washer door open each time we used it and when we checked out to let it dry out.
- Chris (10/5): Perfect location, no hassle, great host. - Great value apartment right in the centre of town. Host Marco was extremely helpful and communicative throughout. The place was clean and tidy and had everything I needed. Will definitely book again!
- John (1/5): Absolutely disgusting . We walked in and walked out 🤮 - Absolutely nothing to like .. unbelievable you can rent that place out It’s the worst place we’ve ever seen .. absolutely disgusting, scruffy , stunk , we walked in and walked out! Went to book another hotel . I wouldn’t let my dog stay in that place , I can’t believe you can let it out and for all that money!
- Martin (6/5): Pleasant - The location of the appartment is fantastic. For London-standards it might be okay ... ... still, the appartment is in poor shape. It looks different than the pictures suggest and is certainly not comfortable. You flood the bathroom when taking a shower, the electricity goes on and off, and the door lock does not lock properly - to name just a few issues.
- Declan (5/5): Passable but I won’t be going back. - Location was good. Very spacious flat. Bed was comfy but need thicker curtains to block the light. Reasonable price. Building entrance, Hallway and stairs were dirty and carpets threadbare. Walking into the building I thought it was horrible. In the flat itself was better but the shower drainage and set up is poor and the sofa was filthy and stained.
- Katie (7/5): Good, would stay again if available. - Great Location, Nice décor and perfectly comfortable. Could do with blackout curtains, a little rough around the edges.
- Bella (8/5): Nice host, clean property but not for me - Host is very nice! Property was clean, location is perfect close to tube and local amenities. I would not stay here again, its not the cosiest. It’s great if your on a budget or get it for a good price.
- Emanuela (5/5): Passable - Staying in the apartment was an overall pleasant experience. The location is truly strategic, just 20 minutes from Piccadilly Circus, making it an ideal starting point for exploring the city. However, I must emphasize that there is one aspect that could be significantly improved: the bathroom.
The bathroom is extremely small and the shower, lacking a enclosure, can be inconvenient to use. The presence of the sink in the same space as the shower makes it difficult to avoid wetting the entire floor during use. I would suggest to the owner to seriously consider installing a shower enclosure, which would greatly enhance the functionality and comfort of the bathroom.
Furthermore, some enhancements could further enhance the apartment. Special attention could be given to cleaning the windows and the sofa, which is not particularly comfortable. The addition of extra towels, mats, and basic kitchen utensils such as a colander, potato peeler, and a smaller pot for boiling eggs, would be appreciated by guests and would help make the stay more comfortable and practical.
Ultimately, despite some minor inconveniences, the apartment still offers a convenient and accessible base for exploring the vibrant city of London. With some targeted improvements, it could become a true gem for future guests. The bathroom is extremely small and the shower, lacking a enclosure, can be inconvenient to use.

- Creamer (7/5): Good - Was actually a very quiet street! We were able to adjust the heat and make it a little cooler - most places we stayed we found too warm to sleep so we appreciated that. Easy walking distance from a small grocery stores and places to eat were a good bonus!
- Pauline (3/5): Poor -
- Yoynimo (5/5): Suitable for a very brief trip - The apartment is well equipped with a microwave, a washing machine, a hoven, refrigerator, iron, ironing board, etc. The place was warm and close to restaurants, supermarkets and the underground station. The apartment wasn't clean at all, especially the WC and the couch. The bed was really uncomfortable. I couldn't sleep at all. There was a disgusting smell in every room, from the toilet I guess. The furniture was dirty. The walls were damaged in some spots. Bed suits and towels were not so dirty and smelly.
- Radka (8/5): Very good - Great location, very nice and flexible communication with the owner. The apartment was clean, well equipped kitchen, everything for accommodation ready. You can see it is been used a lot, it could use a few repairs.
- Emma (10/5): Exceptional - Thank you for flexibility and allowing us to store bags prior to check in. Loads of room, great space. Nothing. Perfect
- Elena (8/5): Very good - The host was very attentive and available during the stay to solve any question or problem. The heating worked very well. I would recommend this accommodation to spend a weekend break in London, since the the location of the flat is really good. The only drawback is the bed mattress, it was very uncomfortable. The bathroom got all wet when you showered, as there was no shower screen.
- Abdul (10/5): Exceptional -
- Marian (9/5): Superb -
- Janet (7/5): Good -
- Josema (5/5): Ok - Ubication there was a mouse under the fridge, the bathroom was very small, the terrace measures apro 2 m2
- Vivian (5/5): Passable - The setting on the picture is fantastic but is not what it looks like Flies when I open the windows, the bed is down and not comfortable. The price is not worth it
- Maria (8/5): Very good -
- Stuart (1/5): The quality of accommodation is extremely poor for the money charged! Would not recommend :-(! - The only good thing was the location What we didn't like:
We have never stayed in such a wretched accommodation in our lives. It practically put us off booking apartments in the future, only hotels!
- dirty bedding
- copious amount of mould on the bathroom walls and the door threshold in the bathroom which is dangerous for one’s health
- mould on the shower curtains in the bathroom and generally very cheap curtains hung on a cheap crooked curtain rail
- insecure mirror in the bathroom which is held only by two rusty metal clips one on top and one on the bottom which almost came off when I tried to wipe it from the steam
- floor in the bathroom got flooded by water every time one of us tried to have a shower so we had to use at least two towels to mop the floor
- other guests' hair stuck inside the sink in the bathroom
- broken mirror in the wardrobe door in the bedroom
- generally very basic and cheap furniture for the price asked
- when contacted the host with complaint after the stay, the host just ignored us
- Dave (9/5): Theatre break - Perfect location, plenty of space even though there was 6 of us. A nice little terrace to sit out on which was lovely in the evening as the sun came round, it was just what we needed.
The furniture was all comfy, the kitchen well equipped and there were plenty of pillows and towels.
We would definitely stop again if we all come to London again. The only slight negative would be it needs just a little tlc. The paintwork needs touching up here and there but it didn't detract from our experience.
- Carrieanne (1/5): anxiety provoking - the location is the best thing about the flat where can I start.. I usually don’t write reviews but I need to try to help any one who might go to stay here. The positives are it’s in a good location and the sun terrace is a nice feature. that’s where the positive points stop for me.
I had to leave and check in to a hotel which cost me £450.
Firstly it is very run down. It is up 4 flights of stairs so I think if you aren’t fit you may want to stay some where else.
I asked to check in at 2 which they agreed but when I got there some one was still there. So I went away and came back at 3.. still there so anyway I eventually got in about 4.
It seemed ok but if you inspect closely you will see the floor is grimey. The kitchen cupboards are dirty inside and food from previous residents is still inside. I found some false teeth in a bedside table that had been left.
The first night I shut the bathroom door as the light wouldn’t go off. The lock was faulty and it locked itself inside some how and was impossible to open. That is the only bathroom.
I told the manager of the air bnb who responded in the morning that he would send a builder and that I could go out. Go out with out a shower, putting on makeup etc or using the toilet.. I said I’d rather wait so I waited he didn’t show up until midday.
He fixed the lock but left wood chips all over the bathroom floor!
This isn’t the reason I left to stay in a hotel. The main reason is the flys so many flys. swarming around the bedding in the spare rooms that I wasn’t in. The place just made me anxious so I had to leave
- Aniko (9/5): Cosy small apartment in a good location - Excellent location, the tube, bus stops, shops are a few minutes' walk away. The British Museum, Covent Garden 10 minutes on foot. Well-equipped apartment, modern, large kitchen, dining area, living room in one, separate bedroom. Small apartment, but very cozy, we were satisfied. The host is always available. We spent 3 days here and had a great time! We will definitely be back. There is no adapter or USB port for charging the mobile phone. The bathroom is very small, there is no shower cabin, the water runs out. There is only one duvet for a bed, although it is very large. They didn't cause us any difficulties, just know. Overall, this is a good place to stay, good value for money.
