Pros:
Close to Goldhawk Road Tube
Tesco Express, Saintsbury Local & Co-op are all within 10 mins walk
Communication was good and we greatly appreciated host's flexibility in accommodating our early check in at 11am without extra charge
Respecting the lock down regulations, our stay in London was longer than expected. We appreciated the host's flexibility in accommodating our extended our stay.
However, I would not recommend this place to anyone who might be visiting London for below reasons:
Bedroom carpets are not as clean as it should be. Quite worn out in fact with burnt mark in multiple locations
Bathtub and shower sink clogged on day 1 which luckily we were able to remedy ourselves by pulling out hairballs in the drainage.
Suede sofa seemed quite dirty with stains in multiple locations which we chose not to use during our stay although host did inform that a thorough cleaning was done prior to our arrival.
Odour in both bathrooms even though air freshener was already in used.
I believe the cleaner missed cleaning the outside patio area. It was full of tree leaves and rubbish fallen from the sidewalks.
Place is not as nice as it seems on pictures. Kitchen & living room area are in fact much smaller. Place is also not as bright and airy as portraited on pictures with clever angles and techniques. I believe all the curtains and blinds were up when pictures were taken. But in reality you can't do that or you would have lost all your privacy.
The place is unbelievably noisy with very poor sound proofing. One would have a hard time falling asleep and be woken up multiple times throughout the night. Condition would become even worse once lock down is over.
Lastly, very poor air circulation with weak extracting fan in kitchen. Smell from normal cooking will linger.
Must do a thorough walk through and document the condition of the house from something as minor as a scratch or a dent on the wall to stains on sofa or you might be charged extra when move out
