Apartment:
1. Nice and Spacious apartment, which does the job for a short or a long stay.
2. Total of 3 bathrooms which was indeed a most imp part as we were 5 of us.
3. Building has an elevator so there is no stress during arrival, stay and departure.
4. Everything was functional. It has 3 AIRCONS and for summer it’s the best one can ask for.
5. Host has just added a brand new washing machine and new dining table.
6. Linen was fresh and clean.
7. Also provided were some toiletries which was a nice gesture.
8. All appliances are in a working condition.
9. Smokers you can use the rear open to sky fire exit area which is accessible from the kitchen.
10. Garbage too can be kept in the rear area and there are people who come and collect it. So it’s convenient.
11. Uber drivers get a little confused and due to no park zone it’s best to walk across the street and then call for an Uber especially when you are headed to W1 or SW London.
12. If you want to rent a car Hertz Showroom is right below, it was busy time during our stay so sadly there were no cars available. However you can also try for TURO or OUT to rent cars.
Constructive Feedback:
1. TV reception to be improved, honestly for us it didn’t matter.
2. Addition of NETFLIX, any other OTT etc could be a good value add too.
3. Additional safety lock or chain to the main door a must.
Host: Jack
Very quick and responsive. Easy to communicate. Thank him for a wonderful stay. Preferred choice when in London next.
Check In: was coordinated and done by a person named Brian. He was very prompt and efficient.
Check out:
Fortunately there were no arrivals on the day or our departure and Jack allowed us to stay for few extra hours, which was very kind of him. There is no security and access to be the building is using a code, which is shared just before check in. So upon departure if you have many bags one person will have to wait in the entrance lobby / foyer. Also Uber drivers can wait on the Main Street for not more than 30 secs as it’s a no park no wait zone, so if you have more luggage plan accordingly get everything down and then load it asap once the cars there. If you have less bags then walk and find an alternate location for pick up.
Summary:
The apartment is functional, spacious and location is perfect. Does the job very well and location is perfect.
Hope this helps all to make a decision.
Cheers
