We were there for just under a week. The accommodation was as in the photos, it was functional and clean.
Pros :
- functional little kitchen area (we made use of the oven, which after some trial and error in settings, worked fine, and the microwave is basic but works - we used it a few times, as is the fridge. Cutlery and crockery enough for three. There were other utensils and a couple of pans for preparing simple meals).
- bathroom good (we had showers each morning, soap and shampoo was provided)
- good enough hair dryer
- TV was good (we used mostly the British terrestrial channels and Netflix)
- WiFi - good signal and reliable (I needed to work while we were there, and I was able to sit at the table and do so without issues)
- the bed was comfortable, although the bedding was a little warm (as weather was warm during our stay)
- location is excellent (within walking distance of tube stations, supermarkets, lots of independent shops - food and other things , lots of restaurants / food and drink establishments, and Oxford Street with the usual retail outlets).
- we felt comfortable walking to places in the vicinity (which we did mostly during the daytime)
- very good communication with host (very responsive to questions, and also in sorting out issues - some of the light bulbs in the bathroom were not working when we got there, they sent someone to fix them the next day)
Cons:
- no freezer compartment in the fridge
- being on an 'A' road, and a bus route, it was very noisy (day, as well as a large part of the night - you could still hear it some if it with the window closed, but was not noticeable when the TV was on, and we got used to it after the first day or so).
- to get to it is a lot of stairs (three flights, some parts quite narrow and steep)
Verdict:
we were there for the proximity to where we needed to be, and for me to be able to work if needed while there, and it served both those purposes well. We were able to shop and prepare meals ourselves if we didn't want to eat out, and we felt comfortable in the area. So we would stay there again.
