It sadness me to give such a low rating. I really wanted to love the space but unfortunately it wasn’t that way. The flat is advertised to accommodate 6 guests. This is not the case if you want to be comfortable and will be there longer than a couple of nights. (We were a group of 5 adults and stayed a week) Let me start with the positives first. June responds very fast and is always pleasant. The flat was neat and clean but not sparkling clean as other reviews mentioned. Check in was easy however she only gives out one set of keys, which isn’t ideal for 5 adults with different agendas. Ok now time for the negatives, the flat advertisement mentions street noise is to be expected. This is a huge understatement!! The screaming, crying and bottle breaking lasted all through the night until daybreak.
The flat is very small which I don’t have a problem with but when a small space is advertised to accommodate 6 guests, it should have all the appropriate functions. Here are a few examples, there are no shelves anywhere in the flat not even a towel rack in the restroom, making it extremely inconvenient and frustrating to get ready in there. The toilet seat is not connected to the ground correctly and the tile is cracked. The flat only offers one towel person for the week. It’ll cost you 2 pounds per clean towel after that. She was kind enough to give each of us one more towel for free, during our week there after I told her I almost slipped coming out of the raised shower.
We were in London during the early part of July and the humidity was at 98 percent, I don’t believe it’s common for the area to have AC but adding a couple of fans to a 3rd story flat would have made it easier to try and sleep. On one occasion, I went up to the flat to change my shoes and use the restroom. The water was off, I called the number she has listed for emergencies a couple of times and left a message. I also messaged her through Airbnb app. She didn’t reply until the next morning around 8:30. Fortunately the water had gone back on in the middle of the night. Otherwise it would have really messed with our scheduled to shower and get on with our day. The sofa beds are very uncomfortable and the bed wasn’t much better. All in all, if it had just been two of us staying there for a weekend it wouldn’t have felt as bad.
