Overall a fairly regrettable stay and I will unfortunately not be returning. Great location if you don't mind being close to a shopping mall (Westfield to be specific), but submerged in an area ridden with construction as your view.
It could be better equipped with essentials; wash cloth for dishes or even dishwasher detergent, towels and sheets that do not have signs of wear and tear. I did have to go to the extremes of buying a new duvet and mattress cover, bearing in mind this was for 10 day reservation. For the monies paid, you would expect a little more as far as quality and cleanliness.
Lastly, there was a slight hiccup, which was partially my fault. I failed to request the key-fob for the hosts parking bay in advanced, but did so 2 days after check in. I did expect a swift turnaround as it was a matter of dropping off the key fob and was told that he would drop it off the following day. I did not hear from him with regards to the status of the key after a failed visit.
Needless to say, a full 8days after check in it was supplied and within that space of time I had received a £130 parking fine. Upon reaching out to the host to inform him of the inconvenience I had endured and to hurry the delivery of the key fob, I received a hostile and condescending response; which at that point was uncalled for. You would think given the circumstance that the host would be sympathetic and therefore make sure the very same or next day I had access to the parking. Negative.
Like I told the host it's the subtle differences between a 5 star service and a subpar one. It would have been better to supply the key fob at check in, regardless of whether it was requested, that way it's fully accessible to your guests if and when they need it. It's not as if I was expecting a mint on my pillow, but then again not everyone is as forthcoming.
