The location of the apartment is great. It is on a quiet street near a bunch of bars and restaurants and only 5 minutes from the Brixton tube station. The apartment is spacious and the living room is large and cozy. Check-in was easy and Tomas was nice enough to let us check in early.
However, on our first night, we saw a mouse run through the living room into the kitchen under the stove. This was very unsettling and stressful because we could hear sounds in the wall and were unsure of how severe this issue would be. We called the support team who were unable to offer a solution until contacting the host Tomas and couldn't provide us with a time when we could expect a reply. Since it was late and we didn't know when we would hear back from Tomas the next day, we then contacted Airbnb support who walked us through the situation throughout the night and helped us find a reasonable resolution. Being from a city, I understand that this is sometimes unavoidable but this is an issue that should not be taken lightly. There were many gaps and open holes for mice to enter and when the exterminator showed up the next day, there weren't any existing traps in place despite a small section of steel wool under shelving in the kitchen. Pest control should be a part of routine maintenance and is not something that a guest should have to deal with during their stay; the appointment was scheduled in the middle of the day so we lost a couple hours we could have used for sightseeing or with friends.
Also, the description does not mention the large amount of stairs. To get into the apartment, there are two flights of narrow stairs. In addition, the apartment itself is set upon three floors. The bathroom and small bedroom is on the first floor, the living room and kitchen are on the second and the larger bedroom on the third floor. If you have a lot of luggage or physical limitations, then this may not be the place for you.
All in all, it's a nice apartment in a convenient location, but comes with some of the issues mentioned above.
