We stayed in this small flat for a few nights for an event in Battersea Park, and the location was great for that. Unfortunately that is one of the only positives to this flat. Check-in was smooth, the instructions were clear and the host was easy to communicate with. However, on arrival we noticed that the rooms were much smaller than depicted in the pictures. We were asked in a message to say that we were the host's friends if the landlord came by, which suggested to us that the landlord was unaware that the flat was being sublet as an AirBnB. This made us all feel very uncomfortable from the start, and though we didn't have to lie, it made us feel like we were agreeing to something shady. Onto the physical bits - several things were broken or dirty. The toilet roll holder, freezer door, desk chair and the handle on the door between the bedroom and living room were all broken, and the shower head holders kept falling off or sliding to the side in use. There was an oven tray left in the oven with a dirty piece of parchment paper on it that smelled of fish. Most concerning was the fact that the latch on the front door didn't lock, which made us feel unsafe in an unfamiliar city. In addition, the shower cubicle was tiny and it was a struggle as a plus-size person to get in and out of it, and even my slimmer friends found it uncomfortable and claustrophobic. The bed and sofa bed were extremely uncomfortable, and the sheets provided were brushed cotton which I know is a preference for some but was unbearable in a heatwave. There was also only one pillow per person (aside from one extra) which made the bed even more uncomfortable. It was on a main busy road, and I can only assume that the building is old and the walls are thin due to the high amount of traffic noise. We also heard the upstairs neighbours creaking around and shouting at 3am at one point too. The blinds in the living room also didn't keep out much light when shut and the windows were difficult to open and close. No instructions were left on how to operate things like the washing machine, oven or how to open the windows. There was also no bin in the bathroom, and no recycling bin in the kitchen. We were told to walk across the road and put our rubbish bags in the bins behind the Waitrose/petrol station, which felt unnecessary and not something that should be expected of a guest. All in all, considering how much we paid for the flat, we are very disappointed with our stay and would not return.
