My wife and I (first time in London) stayed here for 4 weeks. We are full time travelers, mainly staying in Airbnb so we rely heavily on reviews from previous guests. We were happy to book this unit because it had such a high rating. Our review is far from that. The unit is about 8 to 10 min walk from Northolt Metro station Zone 5 (Central Line) and it is between 32 to 40 min train ride to Zone 1 where all the tourist sites are. 3.40 or 5 pounds per ride depends on the time of the day. Unit has 2 bedrooms, spacious by London standards and is located in residential neighborhood. We felt safe walking. There is a community Leisure center with a swimming pool and gym you can join. The kitchen is spacious and has all the basics you need for home cooked meals. Unfortunately, the unit has two major problems: Cleanness and Repairs. Bathroom shower has mildew, cobwebs on the walls, dirty dresser drawers, badly stained couch, and grime on the doors. When we checked in, the laundry hamper was filled with dirty linens from the previous guests!! The unit is in need of repairs badly...all small repairs that can be done but left neglected. Baseboard in the kitchen is not attached so it falls down constantly; chipped paints on the walls; doors don't close all the way; shower is not attached to the wall; wardrobe door in the second bedroom is broken and was told not to touch it; bedroom and bathroom blinds are in bad shape and can't be adjusted easily; master bedroom curtain rod is bent; second bedroom door knob pops out if pulled too hard and the floor joints from room to room are taped down instead of using floor joints Several of the tapes are torn.
The mattress in the master bedroom is HARD and was unusable so we ended up using the second bedroom. We prefer firm mattress but this is beyond firm.
We would not recommend this unit unless these issues are addressed.
