Pros: The check in was really neat and uncomplicated, it was a self check in with a box. There is also a lift in the building. The apartment is good located with the bus stop and the train stations. You take around 30 minutes to get to the city and all the sights. Supermarkets were right down the street.
The apartment looked very nice and clean on the first look, the heater worked really well and Jurgita is a very friendly host.
Cons: So, about the rather unlucky things we noticed.. The apartment is pretty but not in a good shape. As we went into the bedroom for the first time , the first thing we saw was a huge spot above the window with stains, probably cause of water damage. We were wondering if its moldy.
We were pretty shocked as water began dripping down the ceiling in the middle of the night, due to the storm outside. Also unfortunate that we didnt have any spare towels to soak anything up, so we took the bath mat.
The matress of the bed is incredibly soft, so not very good for people with backpain, but it was alright for us. The floor lamp didnt work, so we had to use the overhead lighting for the whole stay. A few smaller lamps, for example as a night light or just for a more cozy athmosphere in the living- and bedroom would have been great.
The TV in the bedroom wasnt even plugged in, it was not connected to a sat cable and there wasnt a remote, only one for the TV in the livingroom. The wall mount for the TV in the living room failed to keep the TV straight.
We had a few issues connecting to the wifi, we always had to switch between the two WiFis to see, which one stays connected and is stable. A little annoying but we were okay with it at some point.
In the flat were many spots / stains on the white walls.
The pull out sleeping function of the sofa was a little tricky, but I just slept on the other half, so it was ok.
Some of the floor tiles of the kitchen area and the bathroom were a little loose and cracked. The shower wall was a little small so we got the bathroom floor wet a lot of times.
The communication was very friendly, but responses could have been a little bit on the quicker side in my opinion. Most of the time we got a response the next day after sending our message. No offense here though. Everything worked out in the end. :)
Over all we enjoyed our stay in London, but we wouldnt come back to this apartment another time. For what it is, its a little bit on the expensive sight for our feeling. A lot of things could be easily improved.
Thank you Jurgita for your hospitality!
