Positives:
Hosts were initially very quick in replying to any queries. The keyless entry system (Klevio app) works perfectly and the wifi was excellent. The property is in a brilliant location, perfect in particular for a solo traveller and provides value for money in the Notting Hill area.
Negatives:
The entire building felt like it good to with a complete makeover, sprucing up and overall improvements feel like they are long overdue, starting with a fresh lick of paint throughout and definitely in the room I stayed in + new carpets etc would make a huge difference to the feel of this property. The room I stayed in on the top floor was basic but fine as a base for one person. I felt the room could have been cleaner on arrival, not only was the bed/mattress the most uncomfortable I have attempted to sleep on in a very long time, but when I arrived the bedding had holes / rips in it and was covered in hairs I had to remove + one of the towels on the bed had a stain on it which didn’t set a great first impression. There were issues throughout my stay with the shower and having arrived on Friday afternoon the only time I was able to use the shower was the Saturday morning and the owners made me aware of a flooding issue and I was unable to use the shower until the Sunday morning and when I tried to use it the shower was stone cold. So, over a weekend stay I was only able to use the shower facility once and I really don’t think this is acceptable. Where the communication response time had been excellent prior to my arrival I felt after the issue with the shower I was left somewhat in limbo and had to send follow up messages to prompt reply and again I think this is a possible area for improvement. Based on my experience I’m not certain I would stay here again, but hopefully improvements are made to the property and perhaps I’ve just been unlucky with my experience here on this occasion. If you are a solo traveler looking for no frills accommodation in a good location at an affordable price it’s fine to stay here as somewhere to base yourself from for a night or two, other than that I’d look at other options in / around the area.
