This flat is in a great location and the exterior is lovely. It felt spacious and safe inside. The kitchen seemed newer and contained most things you would need. The host was very communicative and easy to work with. The price was very fair which is what made it tolerable.
The furniture is uncomfortable, tired and lacking . There are broken doors and tiles. The apartment feels neglected and grungy. The most noticeable frustration was the bathrooms. The drains in both the sinks and the shower/ baths were clogged and did not clear. The toilet flush system and levers were damaged and the backed up drains left a sewage odor.
With some care and upkeep it could be a great place to stay and explore London. It definitely needs some TLC so you need to have a high threshold for uncomfortable beds and malfunctioning bathrooms. You get what you pay for in this situation.
