The only good thing about this place is the location! Lovely quiet part of Kensington not far from public transport.
We have never used an app as a key before and found the instructions were not very clear so we had to get help from another guest. I did message the hosts to say we were having difficulties but heard nothing back. Helpful!!
Once finally in the studio you barely have room to swing a cat. We knew it would be small but this is tiny. The bed is very small with marked bed lined and if you move the pillows away from the headboard the marks on it are disgusting! The duvet cover was stained with make up and also too big for the duvet and it was ripped so we had a lot of loose flappy fabric at the top. The pillows and towels also had marks on. There was no bin in the room or in the bathroom. The tv is above the kitchen sink, rather an odd place when it could have gone at the end of the bed. The tiles on the floor of the balcony are all cracked adding to the rather tired look. It was lovely to be able to sit out though and have the doors open as there is no window for fresh air.
The bathroom is nice but the shower is TINY you can’t bend down to get the shampoo and have to turn the shower off to be able to put soap/shampoo on because you can’t step from under the running water. The actual shower is lovely just far too small. There was a basket full of partially used shampoos and shower gels on the floor of the shower that should be stuck to the wall but doesn’t stick
This could be a nice place but has lots of little niggles. The walls up the stairs leading to the studio are all marked and so are the walls in the room. There are electric wires visible under a plug socket in the room, the blind has seen better days and the kitchenette is just a waste of space. It would be better to get rid of it and have a bigger bed! The bed itself was very firm but comfy just not big enough. The decor is tired and it would be nice to have something to tell you you are in London (after all this is what you are capitalising on!) rather than the random pictures in the wall.
All in all not great value for money
