Location, location, location! So I think everything has to be put in this perspective when you look at this flat. It is relatively conveniently located (10 min to two tube stations) in central London, so for your short stay at this price, what would you expect:
- Flat was clean (enough) with most of amenities necessary for a short stay. But everything is VERY basic - probably the cheapest furniture/mattress you can find.
- Kitchen has stove/washer/dryer/dishwasher (great)/small appliances, but NO MICROWAVE. It's sufficiently equipped for light cooking.
- UK King size bed - what a surprise. It's really just a Queen in Canada/US. Beds are otherwise ok and clean. No closet whatsoever and some lamps might not work.
- Bathrooms have many things that are functioning at sub-optimal conditions, particularly the toilets.
- WiFi speed is at the level of somewhere between 1997-2007 (ie. netflix won't work).
Overall, you can survive it - particularly if the purposes of your stay focus more on, like we did, things outside of the flat. Saying that it was comfortable living here is a bit of far stretched.
YMMV but we were asked to pick up the key to check in from a store 10mins away (even further than the tube station) - with your luggage it will be fun.
