Initially I felt like I had arrived in the ghetto when we got to Milena's place. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the condition of the rooms. Most importantly, the beds were very clean and nicely made. I was a little let down with the condition of the shower room. There was a ton of randomly used shower products in there that had been used by multiple occupants, I'm sure. I didn't see that as very sanitary. Also, the shower head did not connect to the upper bar. So if you wanted to take a shower you had to hold the shower head the entire time in your hand.

We never actually met Milena because we missed her going in and out, which was fine. Her son let us into the building and was very helpful. Milena was very prompt at replying to all of my messages.

This was my family's first time visiting London, and I felt that it was a little further from the downtown area than I liked. We only stayed for a day so our time was crucial. Unfortunately a lot of time was spent on the tube. (Which is obviously not Milena's fault)

One recommendation would be to update the instructions on how to get to the flat after dark. The cemetary reference that she gave became useless after dark because the gates were locked and we had to walk an extra 20 minutes to find our way around.

I don't think that we would stay here again, however I would recommend to other people. It was a great price for a couple of rooms with beds and blankets.
