Imran said we could arrive any time after 2 pm. We arrived at 2:05 pm having taken the train and having to store our bags for three hours. I asked him how to get there from King's Cross by tube and he said to take a taxi. The cleaner was there when we arrived as well as Imran's friend Penny. They seemed surprised to see us. The cleaner left. Afterwards it was evident that she had not finished cleaning. I had to vacuum myself. The fridge and kitchen drawers were not clean.
Penny does not speak good English. She could not tell us anything about the area because we could barely understand her.
The building is run down with litter at the entrance. The flat is right beside the front door to the building and the door slams each time it closes. People went in and out of that building until the wee hours. There was a lot of noise from the door slamming as well as people talking and shouting outside. Traffic noise and sirens were incessant.
The windows do not have locks. Anyone could easily break in.
The bed in the second bedroom is small. It is not suitable for two adults.
There is not enough furniture in the living room for four people to sit comfortably at the same time. There is only one sofa and some plastic dining chairs.
The bedrooms are downstairs in the basement. The bathrooms were fine except the ensuite bathroom flooded all over the place when the drain failed to work properly.
The flat is close to the tube which is good because you need to take the tube to get into the city.
The grocery shopping nearby is minimal and the area is kind of sketchy.
The wi-fi was very fast.
