This was our 3rd AirBnB stay in 3 weeks. Muti’s set-up for access to the apartment was ideal for our uncertain tourist’s schedule. There was no problem when we were delayed one night.
The location is also ideal, just a block or two from several Underground stations. We found a very nice Greek restaurant, Kolossi’s, among the many restaurants and convenience stores on Craven Rd.
The kitchen and washer/dryer were great to have. The bed is only a double and there were only 2 pillows. We had trouble with the hot water in the shower – the only temps available were too hot and scalding hot. Muti responded to my message, but his text only repeated the instructions to use the (non-functioning) middle knob to adjust the temperature. We took the fastest showers ever, and finished rinsing our hair under the sink faucet, which worked just fine.
Unfortunately, the apartment was difficult for non-Londoners to find. Even our cab driver had trouble and dropped us off more than half a mile away on Westbourne Terrace Rd. It would be helpful to include the names of the streets at the intersection (Westbourne Terrace and Westbourne Crescent). In addition, it’s not clear from the original description that the apartment is below ground. In contrast to the clean apartment itself, the exterior stairs, windows and floor were full of cobwebs and dried leaves. The apartment number on the front door was covered by the security screen and the windows are dirty. Inside, the door’s windows are covered with a peeling plastic film.
