- Great communication from Ann who let me dump bags early
- nice living room (showing Ann has a good taste in books, music and art)
- excellent location
On the downside the apartment needs quite a significant bathroom and kitchen renovation if it is to justify charging over £200 a night. £175-£185 a night is a better fit for a place with a small double bed, a very tired old bathroom with chipped tiles, and a kitchen that has seen better days, in an apartment block that would feel unsafe to many non-British travellers. With a strange metal clanging (possibly from nearby scaffolding depriving any sleep - though this is obviously not the host’s fault) nearby hotels would have been a more comfortable bet.
At a better price point and if I needed to get to Eurostar early morning I’d stay again, but only for one night.
It seems a shame writing this because Ann is a really lovely host.
