I’ll be honest and say we’ve felt robbed. The place is fine, but we paid over $6k for a month-long stay. I expected things to be flawless. There were stains on sofa pillows and the carpet. The bed had no comforter, so you could feel the gap between each twin mattress. Each of the twin mattresses have a slant so you sink to the middle of the bed. The shower drain was AWFUL… We ended up cleaning it between each use because it would not drain well. The wifi barely hits 10mbps download speed.
The host was responsive, communicative, and nice (he brought a hotspot to help me combat the bad wifi).
The location is absurdly nice. You can be on one of 4 busses, the piccadilly line, the jubilee line, the victoria line, or a taxi all within 10m of walking (at most). All of the biggest tourist attractions are walking distance. Shepherd Market is adorable. We loved eating at Misto and Soffra especially. The market’s pubs were extremely popular - definitely a fun way to spend a night out close to your place.
I think, in general, these are normal things to expect from an AirBnB, but for over $200 a night?! You’re better off in a Z Hotel. A lot of my negative feelings stem from paying 40% more than I feel the place was worth.
I don’t think outside volume is noticeable when the windows are closed, but the other reviewer stayed during the summer so maybe they always had it open!
