I always try to write long and detailed reviews to help other travelers, since I know how difficult it can be to find THE perfect place for your intended travel purposes, especially if you're new to a city... So here we go:
Mélanie's flat is perfect for solo travelers (and maybe for young couples too) who want their own private studio, as well as some peace and quiet from the buzzing central London area. It's located within a five to seven minute walk from West Hampstead station, so just hop on the Jubilee line and you'll be anywhere in just a matter of minutes. So it's really hard to find available places like these in London - especially with the current inflation, so this is really a hidden pearl.
Since I'm already based in London, it was easy for me to meet Mélanie prior to my arrival, so checking-in and out was more than perfectly simple. I do not know how this usually works, but the host is incredibly communicative (she replied to my booking request within less than ten minutes), so I'm sure this won't be an issue.
The washing machine and dryer are in the building, but outside of the flat, so you'll have to take your laundry to the basement, but everything's incredibly simple to use. You'll just need some coins to make both machines work.
Everything in the kitchen works perfectly. The only difficult thing for you might be climbing up and down to and from the bed, but I think this is part of the charm of this beautiful studio-flat. Consider there's no lift in the building, but again: it's part of its charm.
Everything was perfectly clean upon my arrival. I felt at home from the moment I stepped in.
The only "weird" thing is that there is no Wifi, and if you're new to London, this might be a bit of an issue for you. I already had an unlimited data plan, but I'm sure that if you go to a Vodafone or to an O2 shop, you'll be able to find the perfect plan for you. If not, I'm sure Mélanie will help you out with this.
Overall I do not have anything negative to say about this place, only positive things... And I'm actually already missing staying there. Mélanie was really helpful as I just had had a terrible experience with this platform, as well as with another host. This beautiful studio-flat, as well as the warm welcome from the host helped me forget all my problems. Thanks again!
