Starting off with the positive -- the property's location is OUTSTANDING. Just a 3 minute walk to the Camden Town station and less than 10 minutes to the popular Camden Market attraction. It's two floors and the property is spacious. Beds were comfortable, so much closet space, and perfect for travel with a group of 4-5 since the couch also doubles as another pullout bed. Also the back porch patio is another prime spot for gathering with your group. There are a ton of restaurants, including the Made in Brasil restaurant that the property shares a door with. Ample lighting and even a washer and dryer. The value is unbeatable. FYI: there is no A/C but central air is not common in London. But two large fans were provided which was sufficient for us.
We did have one very big and negative issue with this property:the owner falsely advertised wifi accessibility. This property DOES NOT have its own wifi router and the owner is "borrowing" wifi from the establishments nearby. He did have good communication while troubleshooting passwords not working but when speaking to the restaurant owner whose wifi service we first were given that the password was not working, he angrily replied he has never given out the password to airbnb guests so we were shocked. We were then provided with public access wifis to neighboring restaurants after the fact. We chose the property with the understanding we'd have wifi as out-of-country tourists relying on that to coordinate and organize plans as well as do work so it was very unfortunate to be disconnected for the four days we stayed there. The property has its quirks too -- the bathroom light is motion sensored so there was no way to turn off the lights, the top carpet on the staircase had fallen off so be careful with stubbing your toe, the roof in the second bedroom leaked a little during a rainstorm, and there is only one key so if you're traveling with a group, you have to coordinate the key sharing. Also there was no checkout process clearly listed so we just left the key with the restaurant below similarly to the check-in process. I feel like the owner of the listing was hands-off once we were checked in and when we encountered the roadblock of the wifi. But our two cents: we got what we paid for so weighing the pros against the cons, we were outside of the house enough and just gave into international roaming to mitigate the lack of wifi.
