My family stayed in this apartment for a week during our London vacation. It has many good attributes: it is large, with good light, in a central location, and it has air-conditioning. There are charming murals on some of the walls. Though some of the furniture is worn, there is plenty of comfortable seating for a family. My major issue with the apartment was that when I reserved it, it was advertised as having two showers. One of the showers was dismantled sometime before we arrived, without notice or explanation. This left a single shower for my family to use, and that shower had problems with clogging (an empty bottle of “Drano” had been left on a bathroom shelf before our arrival, so I’m guessing we weren’t the first to experience this). The very professional maintenance company immediately sent someone to unclog the shower, so it was not a big deal. But I booked this apartment in part because it had two showers, and I don’t think I’d have booked it if I’d known there was only one.
Other than that, there are small annoyances that suggest the owner isn’t quite as committed to this apartment as one would hope. The rooftop deck is in poor repair. The air conditioning worked, but was on some sort of timer, so we'd sometimes come back to very warm apartment. And the apartment is pretty spartan: there are no extra towels, sheets, blankets, pillows, etc… anywhere. Many small things (laundry detergent, coffee, hand soap, even a soap dish for the shower) were lacking. With some attention, this could be a truly lovely apartment, but at the moment I’m not sure it lives up to either its promise or its price tag.
