Do not book this place!
This is my first bad review on Airbnb, we had such a bad stay at this property, probably our worst rented house. I booked this room for my family of 6 adults and 1 year old baby. We later have 2 extra guests so the host required us to pay extra and we totally agreed. The host than dropped the charge for us because she wanted to show her house to a potential buyer and we really appreciated, and decided not to write any review about her place, although we had been suffered a lot.
However, I received an email from Airbnb this morning, that the host requested us to pay 1000£ for a wall damage of someone punch in the wall, which i have no idea what or where it came from, so i think i need to write a review about this place to any future renter.
As we walked in the house, there was a strong smell of the room spray which we figured out later that they need to cover up the old and mold smell. There are 3 bed rooms and i must say the pictures on airbnb are much nicer than the real rooms. The carpet is old and so dirty, i didn't even let my daughter play on the carpet at all. All the beds are very uncomfortable to sleep as they made of cheap material. There also some hair under the blanket.
Both door handles in the master bed room and bath room were broken and it would lock you inside, it could only open from outside which i think is very dangerous if something happens. There is one cooling fan in this room and when we turned it on, it created a bad smell over the place. Mold in the bath tub, the sink. The dryer didn't work. Hot water was very limited, we had to wait several hours for the water to heat up which was very inconvenient.
The living room is the nicest place. However, the sofa also smell bad and made us feel itchy. The hot/cold water system at the sink didn't work either.
The host claims that the house is close to everything, moments from Oxford street which i think is not really true. It is located in the central, i agree. But it required extra walk, it's not "moments" to any place at all.
After all, i think we paid too much for this house, as we preferred to spend time outside than going "home" although we were super exhausted. For the price, we expected a much better place to stay. So stay away from this property or it will ruin your trip in London! Good luck!
