Guest Reviews

• laura (9/5): Fenomenal localización - Estaba limpio y tenía todo lo necesario. Nos dejaron café y productos de aseo. El dueño es amable y atento. Las escaleras para llegar al apartamento son estrechas y escalones empinados. Sino tiene problemas de movilidad, no tendrás problemas.
• Daiva (6/5): - The location was good. One room faces the railway, the sofa is not comfortable to sleep at all, the fridge was leaking water on the floor, the door Handel got stuck, the floor in the apartment was not clean, the stairway to the apartment is very dirty.
• Klaudia (7/5): -
• Zoltan (3/5): - Great location with easy access to public transport, pleasant surroundings, and some lovely cafés nearby. Unfortunately, cleanliness was a major issue. While I can accept that the apartment is outdated, worn, or even a bit musty, it’s hard to overlook the lack of basic hygiene. Furniture, floors, and appliances (including the fridge) were visibly dirty and stained. The equipment is also quite limited, and several electrical sockets didn’t work. A few simple, low-cost improvements would help (plus 2-4 points) - like adding towel hooks, shelf, a slightly larger washbasin, or even small touches such as air-freshener in bathroom, tea or paper towels in the kitchen. These would at least show some care for guests. Every visit to the toilet comes with the fear that it might clog. Overall, this place could easily gain a couple of extra points with proper cleaning and a bit more attention to detail. Also, the photos do not reflect the current reality. It is ok for 2-3 nights stay.
• Sarah (9/5): - L emplacement, la déco, la salle d eau Le sol a rafraichir.
• Maria (6/5): Disappointed. - Location, metro station nearby, grocery stores nearby, central heating. Overall apartment conditions: the laminate floor was loose and dangerous for someone with bare feet, both bed and sofa bed not comfortable, linen was too small for the bed. No table cloth available, curtains without blackout which made us wake up very early in the morning. The stairs from the building were completely dirty.
• Nuno (8/5): -
• Marsella (5/5): Cercate altro - Posizione comoda per visitare o andare a lavorare all’Olympia, come nel mio caso. Vi accoglierà all’ingresso diversi sacchi di spazzatura, sì sono rimasti lì per 4 giorni. Una bellissima scala con puzza nauseante fino ai primi due piani, poi finalmente dopo aver superato carte, terra, spazzatura varia, si arriva al l’appartamento dove ho soggiornato io, con balcone. Balcone con vasi di spazzatura e cicche di sigarette, ovviamente. Al primo giorno ho contattato l’assistenza perché mi sono fatta male al piede: causa? Il parquet vecchio, perde pezzi e ti fai male. Pressione dell’acqua in doccia? Debole. Lavandino? Delle barbie. Se sei sul water hai già la faccia nel lavandino. Temperatura alta (assai) dell’appartamento e si sente sempre il treno-metro passare. Ogni 3 minuti. Cucina carina con mini frigo, letto comodo a tratti. Aloni di ogni genere in camera da letto.
• Catarina (2/5): Localização perfeita . Não tem condições para refeições. - Localização , muito perto do metro. Rua agradável . Cozinha não tinha condições para uma refeição (ao contrário do que dizia na descrição do alojamento: microondas avariado, forno sem grelha o que não dava para aquecer comidas rápidas, duas frigideiras e um tacho grande (não dava para aquecer leite, por exemplo). Casa de banho: entupia com facilidade e a água do lava louças da cozinha era escoada para o polibam (água suja). O anfitrião sugeriu enviar um senhor para arranjar, mas em tão pouco tempo de estadia optamos por não querer. Foi muito desagradável !
• Tibiletti (7/5): - L'arredamento La scala per raggiungere l'appartamento era molto sporca
• Galì (10/5): - Posizione strategica Appartamento ben diviso
• Lloyd (8/5): -
• Loredana (7/5): - Close to the underground station, easy to communicate with the owner and nice information. No issues with the boiler, it was warm and you can set the perfect temperature you want. Not really clean (mould in the bathroom) and the pictures from the description are too professional if we compare with the reality. We had a food smell (cooking) from the neighbour because the door was not open properly.
• Paola Brambilla (7/5): - La posizione molto comoda alla metropolitana di barons court La moquette sulle scale all’ingresso
• Giuseppe (10/5): Centrale è vicino alla metro ottimo compromesso tra prezzo e distanza dal centro ottimo per chi visita Londra - Ottima posizione, come da recensione, consigliato a chi vuole visitare il centro di Londra, metro e bus a poca distanza
• Joanna (9/5): -
• chiara (9/5): - La posizione, vicino alla stazione della metropolitana. Il materasso
• Andrea (3/5): 7 giorni in ottima posizione per visitare Londra, ma 4 giorni senza acqua calda - Gli unici aspetti positivi di questo appartamento sono: - la posizione (eccezionale, vicina a due fermate della metro, District e Piccadilly line). - la disponibilità del'host, mi ha fornito un contatto diretto fin da subito, e rispondeva quasi sempre nel giro di pochi minuti alle nostre numerose richieste. - la biancheria, pulita ed abbondante. Il problema più grande è stata la caldaia. Andava continuamente in blocco, il tecnico è dovuto venire per ben 3 giorni di fila fino a quando è riuscito a riparare il guasto. In pratica, per i primi 4 giorni di vacanza (su 7) abbiamo potuto solo farci docce molto veloci (tra un blocco e l'altro della caldaia), senza poter lavare i capelli per paura che si bloccasse a metà. Inoltre abbiamo perso molto tempo, in quanto ogni giorno eravamo costretti a rientrare prima per attendere il tecnico a casa. Questo è un disagio insopportabile in vacanza. Troppe ore perse. Abbiamo chiesto di poter avere un rimborso parziale per il disagio subito, ma questa richiesta è stata più volte ignorata. Comunque l'appartamento non corrisponde alle foto (che, evidentemente, sono vecchie) e necessita di manutenzione. In particolare: - In soggiorno la porta che dà sul balcone spesso non si chiude, il divano letto è molto scomodo (troppo morbido in alcuni punti e durissimo in altri). Forse andrebbe bene per dei bambini piccoli, ma due adolescenti hanno dormito proprio male. - Il bagno è piccolissimo, il lavandino è talmente piccolo che non si riesce a lavarsi le mani senza bagnare dappertutto, la doccia è sporca ed il gabinetto scarica male. - In cucina l'attrezzatura è scarsa (due padelle di cui una rovinata, ed una pentola tutta rovinata, inutilizzabile, abbiamo dovuto comprare delle pentole che poi abbiamo riportato a casa), ci sono solo 3 piatti fondi (e noi eravamo in 4), i coltelli non tagliano. Il freezer era spento e non sono riuscito ad accenderlo, il frigorifero è molto piccolo. Manca la lavastoviglie ma in compenso c'è la lavatrice. Della caldaia ho già detto, abbiamo passato la vacanza con il terrore di vedere accendere il led rosso che indicava il blocco.
• Maribel (8/5): - La ubicacion excelente, muy cerca del metro. Está arreglado y tiene lo necesario para pasar unos días. El sofá es algo incómodo para dormir en modo cama. El suelo de la habitacion está un poco levantado y el metro pasa justo por detrás (aunque para por la noche).
• Cora (6/5): Pleasant - Very steep staircase to 3rd floor but great location
• Valter (8/5): Very good - The apartment was located near the tubes, as well as a bus stop, there are several grocery stores nearby, communication with the owner excellent, as well as check-in and check-out, the apartment has a small terrace that served the purpose, all in all the price-performance ratio was within expectations. What I think is a bit negative is the following, but it probably won't bother other guests, but since I'm also a landlord of the apartment, a few little things bothered me, there was not a single knife in the kitchen, after contact with the owner he brought us one knife, what is not acceptable to me is that the owner entered the apartment and left a knife there, I would never do that to my guests, to enter the apartment while they are gone, and the other thing is that the sofa bed is very uncomfortable. There is no mattress topper, so we used a blanket and put it underneath so that it would be as comfortable as possible and that we could sleep, we asked the owner for an additional blanket, but the answer was that there was none, so we only covered ourselves with a sheet because the blanket was underneath, here are all the remarks from my side.
• Olga (10/5): Exceptional - Blisko do centrum Korytarz
• Pruteanu (4/5): Disappointing - Tidy apartment Good WiFi Close to train stations and other facilities Not safe to go with kids. The stairs are dirty and unsafe. The apartment door is not safe at all, we couldn’t sleep thinking somebody may break in because the door can easily be broken into. The sofa was stained and uncomfortable. Pictures made it look a lot better than reality.
• Sarah (10/5): Amazing - I stayed at this apartment from January 20th to 28th, and I can confidently say it was amazing! The location was super convenient, just a short walk to the train station. if you’re traveling with parents or older family members, it might not be the best choice, as it’s on the top floor and carrying luggage up was quite a challenge.
• Paola (9/5): Superb -
• Elena (9/5): Beautiful apartment could do with a few tweaks - Lovely balcony, great location, decent amount of space, very quiet part of London, also a very welcoming host. Nice and clean apartment. Pros definitely outweigh the cons. Kitchen is pretty much useless. No kitchen utensils other than butter knives forks and spoons, no shelves inside oven. Staircase can be difficult to climb but shouldn't be a problem unless you have mobility issues.
• Philip (8/5): Your reward for tackling all those stairs is a delightful top-floor flat run by excellent host Marco -
• Lisa (8/5): Sweet home and pleasant stay. - It was clean and a perfect location close to the stations of West Kensington and Barons Court. The sofa bed was also really comfortable and the terrace is a lovely additional space. There are a lot of small stairs winding up the house to reach this floor at the top and we carried luggage which I would not recommend. Not a good place to bring suitcases because of the stairs. Apart from that all good.
• Hayley (10/5): One of the best properties we’ve stayed in for London for the price! - Host was prompt with sending details for arrival - very well organised Apartment was well presented and a lot larger than most you come across in London. WiFi included Little terrace to sit out on was good in the sun :) Towels & complimentary shampoo & conditioner And coffee pods for the machine We will definitely book to stay again location was brilliant as we have family locally and perfect base close to tube station
• Aeysha (9/5): Quiet location, easy access to central London. - Great location.
• Alison (10/5): Exceptional - The only issue with this fantastic apartment are the 50 steep internal stairs, but then I'm not very fit to drag a suitcase! Other than that, the location was clean and safe with great transport and amenities within 100m. Hammersmith is lovely. The apartment was clean and well appointed, everything you need for a short or longer break. The roof terrace was cute and much needed. Free tea, coffee pods, toiletry products all made our stay more enjoyable. 50 internal spiral stairs. Slight musty smell.
• Thomas (10/5): Exceptional -
• Abbas (3/5): Poor -
• Christopher (6/5): Nice location to barons court station but that’s about it. - The location of the home was ideal. Close to the tube station. The kitchen floor was deplorable. It was coming up and apart in multiple places. Cut my foot once and snagged a sock another time. Wear shoes in the house!
• Gili (5/5): Very old building, and too close to the train - Close to the metro station Very close to the train, very noisy The building is quite old and not well renovated just painted over. The kitchen has the floor in very bad stage and the beds are very uncomfortable
• Jaime (8/5): Perfect stay, felt well at home. Thank you - Perfect location. Very cozy place and perfect hosts. Welcome book explains everything you need. The stairs to the apartment are a bit steep.
