"Nice and cosy studio flat in London" should be titled "Smaller than Harry Potter's broom-closet"

The photos alone of this apartment are misleading. When you arrive, the first thing you notice is the lack of space. Our host, Oliver, was very slow to respond to our immediate concerns of cleanliness. The towels, bedding and sheets smelt unclean and musty. The dryer, which wasn't explained that you need to fill up the water bucket inside to effectively work, left us with wet clothes that we needed to hang throughout the apartment. All this and a turned off fridge which created a putrid odor, caused us to sent several messages and a few phone calls to Oliver-- who we didn't hear back from. As a result, we decided to cut our losses and requested a cancellation through AirBNB. Only then did we hear back... Magic!

The internet is spotty at best. If there is someone in the apartment next to you, which has better access to the router and modem, be prepared to go long periods without access.

We spent the majority of our time in London proper (about a 25 minute Tube ride to King's Cross station) and plan on using this as home base, it is more than acceptable. Long periods of time and more than two people can cause you to question why you booked it.

For the money Oliver is asking (including a high cleaning fee, which leaves you wondering what that money really goes to) you can do a lot better, closer to London. Be advised.
