I’ll try not to make this too long but I’ll start with the positives. It’s in a really good location near Clapham Junction and Northcote street, while also a 15min walk to Wandsworth Southside shopping centre. Bathroom is really good (though no hairdryer) with a powerful shower. It pretty much has what you need from a base in London.
Now to what made our experience not as good as what it could’ve been. We felt the place hadn’t been given a proper clean around the windows as there was dust around and my wife being asthmatic was feeling it. When exploring the place the front of one of the draws came off as we opened it, then later the stay a slat under the bed broke as well.
The photographer did a great job of maxing the place look more spacious than it was because it is quite pokey in all areas. I feel it’s also worth noting the listing is operated by a company that has many other places, you don’t get the personal feel of communicating with someone who owns the property and what’s to make it a special experience. It’s more like communicating with a bot from a telecommunications company. That said they at least partially refunded the last time I had booked as we needed to leave one day early.
There are also a lot of stairs in a really tight space so getting large suitcases up would be extremely difficult, as it was two small suitcases was hard enough. There also isn’t anywhere to store them so it makes the space even tighter.
I’ll also mention it’s near a graveyard, it’s not something that bothers me but I know it can be creepy to others.
For others this place might work better, for us sadly it was a bit disappointing.
