Chris seemed to be a nice guy and the apartment had great potential but the airbnb ad is unfortunately disingenuous. It was not his fault that the downstairs shower flooded (despite draino then a plumber), requiring us to use the upstairs shower that doesn't have a screen (so also flooded). Nor that the downstairs toilet didn't flush properly (and probably hadn't been properly cleaned in years). However it IS disingenuous to claim on the airbnb website that there was TV (there wasn't, but there was Apple TV, not quite the same thing), and that there was a washer/dryer (there was a washer but the dryer didn't work which made drying clothes in winter a challenge). Further, when we arrived the owners' clothes and general stuff was all over the study, hallway and kids room (unlike the pristine photos in the ad), leaving very little practical space for use by us. All in all a disappointing experience given the obvious pluses of the intrinsically nice apartment and it being in a great location near Portobello Road/ Notting Hill shops, market and restaurants.
