Let's start with the pros : excellent location , generally clean space.
Now with the cons:
1) the curtains were extremely dirty and unwashed, full of dust, resulting in an incredibly stuffy apartment,
2) there was humidity all over the flat , because there is only ONE small window that can actually open for the whole flat , and only partially might I add. No other way for fresh air to enter the flat,
3) the boiler's pressure kept dropping after every use , resulting in freezing water. To fix this I had to exit the flat and go to the boiler room 1-2 times per day,
4) The door had only one lock , and was not stable at all, BUT the host did come and install one missing screw of the lock , when we mentioned it to him. The front door of the building was left open repeatedly. Resulting us in feeling unsafe most of the time,
5)Beds and couches not really comfortable
6) The door handle of the single bathroom was unstable , and the appearance of that same bathroom on the inside was disappointing to say the least,
7) Saved the most important for last. The host's behaviour!! When messaging him directly with my thoughts and problems with the flat , I received a response full of mockery and sarcasm!
Claiming that since no other people had a problem with the flat , then he does not care about our " personal" problems and opinions. According to Air bnb's policy , if you are not satisfied with the place during the first 24 hours of your stay, you can speak with the host to come to a mutual solution. We wanted to leave on the first night and asked to pay for the 2 out of 4 nights out of courtesy, but he absolutely refused to give us a partial refund.
Overall, excellent location , only a 2 minute walk from the tube , Marks and Spencer food hall directly next to it, many pubs as well, BUT all these pros where overshadowed by the negative experience of actually staying at the place.
