Salwa's apartment and hospitality

Assists in collection of travel pass on my behalf following notice

Provides direction of nearby transportation and amenities

Allows laundry washing but no dryer provided

Provides towels

Small toilet, there is hardly space to open/close the door freely when one is inside the toilet. Further access to shower cubicle is obstructed by toilet bowl.

The cubicle is two steps higher than the dry area. A real problem for me and my partner. (In my opinion, it can be a hazard when stepping out from a wet slippery floor. Suggest host to provide preventive anti-slip where necessary applicable.)

Guest may request host to upload a photo of the toilet for details.

Host is very particular about the toilet floor to be free from any hair and made request for guest to remove those hairs at the end of the day (even though the toilet are common to all users, why is the guest clearing instead of the host?)

Host do not allow throwing of waste toilet paper inside the toilet bowl to prevent choking issue.

Waste bin is very small and fills up easily.

There is little provision for hanging of clothes and towels during shower.
Toilet is filled up by old personal stuffs. Things such as sanitary pad, comb, shampoo are spread all over the toilet.

Bedroom is small and filled up at all corners with wardrobes, cabinets, couch with beds in the centre. Furthermore I need to combine 2 single beds to form a double bed given the existing condition. There is hardly any walking space. With 2 luggages, I have to place 1 on the couch and the other behind the door. Only one small part of the wardrobe is available for use, the rest are all taken by host. Things such as shoes, old cloths all filled in the wardrobe.

Heaters are not automatic and can't be operated manually in the room. Host must be informed each time I need the heater to be on. This applies for both the bathroom and bedroom.

No living room usage
No breakfast or tea or coffee as per previous review, only offer at our last night before leaving the next morning

Furniture are generally old

There is no lift access to the apartment, guest will need to carry their luggages down the stairway from ground floor but thankfully it is only half storey down.

Location from Paddington station is about 0.6 miles, Walk by Little Venice along the canal takes about 30 mins with big luggages if you manage the way first time right.
