First of all, there is no lock on this door - so no safety or privacy. The door itself barely shuts properly. On numerous occasions, the lady entered my room whilst I was out. When confronted, she started yelling that she never stepped in my room which I knew was a lie because the window was left open when I closed it before leaving for the day…
Next, I was sent a rude message by the host explicitly stating I will have to pay for electricity if I use too much of it and was blamed for causing an ‘electricity mass’. After putting on a tiny light bulb for 2 hrs, this is the first time I’ve heard someone say that causes an electricity mass.
The listing also advertises kitchen, cooking, washing machine use but unfortunately the host refused use of it all. And said only the bedroom and bathroom can be used. Not sure why they are false advertising…
One morning I woke up to none of the lights working! Lady must have turned off the electricity in the flat. And they turn off the heating and only put it on when they want which doesn’t help me as I payed a large amount to stay here for 4 weeks. Mainly for work. Only reason I stayed is because I could’ve move due to work otherwise I would’ve left day 1.
Only plus to this place is the location - it’s close to Canary Wharf and also the wifi is relatively fast. But I would advise, if you are after a quiet, clean place where u will be in the room/flat a decent amount then i would advise not to stay here. Especially as there’s no lock so anytime anyone can come into your room, and the lady deffo takes advantage and comes into your room to open the window and snoop around.
