Our family of 6 people (2 adults and 4 children) stayed in the flat over Christmas for 8 nights. The overall experience was that it was OK relative the price we paid. We were pretty much only looking for a place to spend the nights and this flat filled all our requirements.
Pros:
- The area is lively with nice places to visit like cafés, bars and shops, within walking distance.
- The bus-stop is 100m away with buses every 4th minute and less than 15 minutes to the centre of London.
- Bagels all night long for a person with that kind of need.
- The apartment was equipped with almost all we needed. However, we did not cook any meals.
- The pricing is reasonable
- The host (Tanvir) was very responsive, both in the booking process and during the checkout when there was a misunderstanding regarding the time for checkout.
Cons:
- The entrance to the flat is not very welcoming.
- The bathroom needs renovations with loose tiling and a toilet that is hard to flush.
- The beds are not very comfortable and there are only 3 bedcovers, meaning you need to share.
- The TV is about to fall from the wall.
- For a place that accommodates 6 persons one would expect 6 chairs at the table but there are only 5 that does not even fit around the table.
- The one glass windows do not hold any sound out at all. It is very loud in the evenings in the area and with two 24/7-open bagel-shops just opposite it gets noisy.
