Good value-for-price flat in the heart of bustling London. Comes with some downs, too, though.
Communication with Julio went smoothly, he'd reply within minutes.
Self-check-in was very straightforward.
We were warned in advance of the narrow staircase and the noise. The latter is indeed quite bothering - while the neighbourhood does quiet down past 11pm, the windows have basically no soundproofing and insulation, therefore, any noise coming from the streets is audible. The square becomes quite noisy very early in the morning.
The flat itself was clean but the furnitures and amenities were quite worn out. Some pillows had stains on them. Only one roll of toilet paper was provided, which was somewhat annoying. Nevertheless, the downs were not as bad so as to make us feel bad about returning to the flat every evening.
Considering all of its ups (location, price) and downs (noise, insulation, dated feel to the flat) I think Julio's apartment is a good choice to stay at.
