The apartment is small but conveniently located in a busy area off Green Park. It can get noisy with the pub and cafes on the same street. The building needs upgrading and redecorating, and the narrow steep staircase won’t be for everyone. The apartment itself was very basic and rather run-down, but it was mostly clean and the bed was comfortable. However, my main problem was with the unresponsiveness of the host when I couldn’t get into the building when trying to check in at 11pm; the lock malfunctioned and the door wouldn’t open. I tried to get hold of the host by phone and message via AirBnB, but did not get any reply until 8pm the following day. I went to recharge my phone at a bar next door, from where I tried to find alternative accommodation; this was unnecessary in the end as I found an hour later that the door of the building had been broken into and I could then get in and spend the night. When I eventually got a reply from the host the next day, he implied that I had damaged the door to get in, which added insult to injury. Without this incident, the stay would have been fine within the parameters of a convenient place to spend a night or two.
