Toby’s place is very well situated near the city and subway. It was clean and well maintained however my only issue is the lack of transparency in relation to check in. It’s a tedious and unreliable process especially for those coming in from outside London- who’re trying to manage the craziness of public transport with the unreliability of it in light of the current strikes as well as the struggle of logistics with any group stay-you have to pick up keys at a certain time from a cleaner and late check ins are subject to a fee. This all comes under the House Rules after booking which I feel is unfair as that is not the normal process for many Airbnb stays and it’s penalizing one for renting a space and then adds additional stressors on what should be a relaxing vacation. I’ll post the late check in fees here and I encourage Toby do the same on his main listing description so that renters are well informed when deciding to book a stay at his place.
