Positives:
Location was great - 9 min walk to Leyton station, couple of min walk to shops and restaurants.
Has sufficient kitchen utensils for cooking and eating.
Negatives:
Dirty - I would describe as “grubby” (interestingly, a friend who visited used the exact same word), bin contained rubbish on arrival and dishes in cupboard needed cleaning prior to using.
Very noisy - awoken most mornings to throat clearing and conversations of others in the building.
Not equipped for length of stay - 1 roll of toilet paper and 1 bin bag provided for 2 week stay, no dish towel or hand towel provided at all, and it was left to me to contact the host regarding these issues.
Door to building requires many attempts to enter (even using specific instructions to “be gentle”).
I’ve never had issues before with any Airbnb and I’m not trying to nitpick (if anything, I tend to downplay) - I’m just hoping I can give a more balanced appraisal of this studio.
