For the most part, I enjoyed my stay at Charlotte’s apartment- it’s very convenient to tube, shopping, restaurants, etc. It’s a perfect size for one or two people, and the bed was quite comfortable. The space is ingeniously laid out, with the loft bed over the kitchen.
I was not impressed with the overall cleanliness of the apartment, however- there were smears on the oven door, and a rather sticky handle on the hairdryer and, in COVID times, makes you question the cleanliness of what you can’t see. In addition, the woodwork and some surfaces were quite dusty. I also found the apartment to be very cluttered- things stashed behind both couches, a lot of furniture, books, decor items, etc. Photos don’t accurately convey this.
Finally, there was a leak with the washer/ dryer, which I found out when the ground floor neighbors came up to let me know there was water coming into their place. They said they have repeatedly complained about this- but in fairness, perhaps other guests have not passed this along. Once I notified Thea, she did have someone come by to repair it.
All in all, I had a great stay in London, despite my concerns!
