Lisa's place is charming but it didn't fit our needs.
I'd recommend it if you're a single person looking to spend a rainy weekend away, but not if you're looking for something more practical.
I tried to cancel the booking after the first day because of several things we ran into and didn't think would work for us with a long term let. The host denied the request, and that's AirBnB policy, so I accept it, but so you don't end up in the same situation, here are some of the things that didn't work out very well for us:
1. The ceilings are very low and not obvious from the photos. There's a low beam (5 feet) when your walk from kitchen to dining room section. Also in the middle of master bedroom. I hit my head countless times in the first days.
2. The ceilings are also more slanted than they appear in the photos, so you have to go in your knees every time you need to reach the closet in the bedroom, as that's the only storage place to put clothes in.
3. The house was wrapped in scaffolding when we arrived and there was a major remodeling going on. This was never mentioned by host before check-in, but it caused frequently dirty common areas (dust from sanding, wet cement falling down from scaffolding, etc), noise, etc.
4. The flat gets extremely hot when the sun is out. The curved glass ceilings are beautiful, but they really concentrate the sun rays. During Easter weekend, the candles decorating the dining table wilted from how hot it became with the sun hitting straight in. It's pretty unbelievable, I had to show people photos before they would believe it. I pointed this out when we checked in since outside was cold and sunny and inside felt like summer. Property manager claimed the heating was on by mistake, but as we'd find out, that was not the case.
5. Some of the items in the house looked very antique and precious, which made us a bit uncomfortable touching things afraid of breaking them. During check-in, the property manager tried to move the rocking chair and the arm broke and came off, so I'd say that left us a bit uneasy.
In general, I wish our stay had been more relaxed, but we ended up only spending about half the days we booked at the flat, since we didn't feel comfortable stepping out for lunch or shopping and leaving our dog locked inside his crate when the place got hot so quickly. The property manager did not approve of us leaving a couple windows open when stepping away, so we ended up spending several days at temporary arrangements with friends or shorter term rental when the weather was on the warmer side.
I wish we had enjoyed the place more, given we were excited to live closer to Hampstead.
It doesn't seem like I can upload photos as part of the review, but I'll provide them if you message me.
