We stayed in the studio for 3 nights. The check in process was smooth, but we didn't deal with Tom or the building manager. The studio is in a truly excellent location which means you do not need to worry about transport unless you are going much further afield.

There seems to be a number of apartments owned within the building by the same company that are listed on AirBnB and as such it felt like we were being dealt with collectively rather than individually as you might expect with an AirBnB experience.

The studio apartment is photographed well which belies its actual size and function. It is slightly dark and stuffy during the day and much more stuffy at night even with the window open.

The shower is very small and floods the floor if you have a slightly longer shower. At the time of our stay, the shower head was being held up with an elastic band which flung off the minute you tried to angle the head any other way. This was really sub-par given the amount paid.

You also get a lot of noise from the surrounding and adjoining apartments which cannot be helped given the buildings age.

We also noticed a number of issues with the studio that hadn't been put right such as the broken shelf or chipped crockery. The smaller things really seemed to add up when you consider how much you are paying per night versus what you would expect from a similarly priced hotel.

Other pros:
- Great little washing machine. Really helpful given the fact we are travelling for so long.
- The studio was very clean & tidy with a large amount of kitchen utensils (although the hob has seen better days) and the kitchenette is tiny.

Other cons:
- No where to properly hang your wet towels. There is space for a rack but only two hooks have been provided so your towels never dry.
- Washing machine comes with a small octopus hanger that can accommodate 8 pieces of underwear. We had to get "creative" with the rest.
- The floor is extremely uneven and warped in places throughout the studio. This is especially true of the kitchenette which makes opening the front door difficult.
- There is little "privacy". So unless you have been with your partner for a long time, you will certainly know all about their "functions" by the end of your stay.
- Stairs are extremely narrow so do not bring large pieces of luggage. Where would you store them anyway!

Overall, only the location really justifies the price.
