The Good:
Great location - Notting Hill, Hyde Park, tube stops.
Great communication - Billie was quick at getting back to me. Check-in was great. The remote lock system was very easy.
The Bad:
Stairs - the listing says no lift but doesn’t say that this is a 5th floor apartment with 87 steps. If you’re fit and have lightish bags, that’s fine. With heavy bags, this was a real slog.
Appearance - the apartment is fine but the photos put it in a very good light.
Washing Machine - there’s one machine shared between 19 apartments (in the basement - see stairs section for why this isn’t ideal), so we had to queue, wait, and check on it to make sure we got it done. Personally, I don’t think it should listed as an amenity but rather a bonus if it’s available.
Shower - it’s fine but not entirely clear on how it works. You need to set it on ‘eco’ (the middle setting) otherwise it’s hot enough to make tea.
Overall: a well-located apartment that has a lot of stairs. It could be cheaper for what it is.
