We enjoyed our stay at Emily’s place and would stay here again.
PROS:
* Easy check-in and secure building.
* We appreciated having laundry pods on hand so that we could wash our clothes after our prior week of traveling & there were plenty of hangers in the armoire/dresser to dry clothes on.
* Nice sized balcony with bistro table and two chairs with cushions was enjoyed in the early morning/late evening to cool down a bit from the summer heat.
* Convenient grocery store across the street.
* Within 5-7 minute walking distance to the Borough tube station.
* Full kitchen with a mini-fridge to keep a small amount of groceries in made it easy to have breakfast at the flat before heading out for the day.
* Great communication with host.
CONS:
* Since the UK was experiencing a heat wave, it would’ve been nice to have at least 1-2 fans so that it was more comfortable sleeping at night.
* Sofa bed was uncomfortable. A better mattress would’ve been appreciated. The base was noticeably sagging when we arrived (it was already put out for us upon arrival). My sons were extremely sore after sleeping on the sofa bed the first night, so we had to take the thin mattress off the bed and place it on the floor for the remainder of the one week stay.
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at Emily’s place!
