Maria's place is in a beautiful part of London and close to both the tube and regent park. Although, this is a beautiful apartment, I would not rent again due to the host and the challenges outlined below.
For me, there were a couple of drawbacks of staying in her place. The check in and check out process was not smooth at all, I needed to go to a secondary location (with all of my luggage and within a certain time constraint) to pick up keys, then to get in to the building I needed to ring random doorbells to until someone off chance buzzed me in... this meant I couldn't leave the apartment freely until I got the right set of keys the next day. I was also asked to leaver earlier than the check out time to accommodate another guest's booking.
Once I was in the apartment, I didn't have a chance to settle down before I was given a video tour of all of the things I couldn't touch...(which generally is fine) but on top of everything else it felt contradictory to Airbnb a home that's not really meant for guests.
the bed is also not a king bed as it is advertised but rather closer to a full size.
also, there was no TP and no trash can in the bathroom....if you're a lady, this can be problematic.
