My boyfriend and I would have given this studio three stars for an average stay, but sadly our trip was ended by a sour conversation with (I'm assuming) a relative of the host.
The location of this AirBnB was amazing, a minute walk away from Clapham Common tube station which is only 15 mins away from the centre of London. The space was clean, and the bed was comfortable enough. It lacked little (but basic) things like hand soap and a bin. The ensuite door doesn't close and it has windows, but the bathroom itself is done to a high quality.
There wasn't much communication with the host, although that didn't really bother us. I get the feeling that we wouldn't have seen the host if we hadn't have bumped into them in the foyer.
We asked the host if we could keep our bags in the room on our last day so that we didn't have to drag our luggage around London, and we were told that would be fine as there was no one checking in on our last day.
When we went to hand in our key, we were greeted by a relative who quite tersely told us that we had left our bags in the room too late, even though there was no indication of a time limit given to us by the host (we would of course left earlier if asked). The conversation left a bad taste in our mouths, we weren't asked anything about our stay, and no pleasantries were exchanged. We were simply told we'd stayed too late and the conversation ended. This could have all been avoided with more communication.
We've stayed in multiple AirBnBs of very different price ranges, and we're sorry to say this is our first bad experience. It's a shame, because the studio has the potential to be a great AirBnB. We won't be returning here, and I wouldn't recommend it to a friend.
