I stayed at Iwona’s apartment (flat B) with my wife and infant children in late September. The location was the only positive from our stay, a stone’s throw from the greenery of Finsbury Park, the excellent public transport connections at Finsbury Park station and the local shops and supermarkets.
Our overall experience of the apartment was disappointing. The state of the communal entry hall to the apartment block set the standard for the apartment itself. The hallway was littered with post, junk mail and old newspapers. While the apartment was superficially clean, it was apparent from the amount of hair that our children (a crawler and a toddler) gathered on their clothes that the floors and rugs had not been properly vacuumed for some time. A vacuum was not provided for guest use.
The apartment is located up a narrow and steep flight of stairs from the street level, and is split-level with the bathroom and open plan kitchen, dining and sitting room on the first floor and the two bedrooms on the second floor. The layout was fine for us but would be unsuitable for anyone with mobility issues.
The apartment was a good size for our family of four, however we opted not to use the second bedroom for our toddler as there was an unpleasant smell.
As previous reviewers have commented, the wifi (a 4g dongle) continues to be an issue and we were unable to get this to work at any time during our stay despite our request for the host to address the ‘invalid SIM’ issue.
