The good:
-The location was great. 5-10 minute walk to tube station, grocery store and restaurants around.
- The place is quiet at night. The room feels private.
-The host is responsive and tries to address your concern. The check in was relatively smooth, although I still could not find the lockbox from the written instructions and had to call Kyle to find it.
-The kitchen was relatively well stocked with pots/pan
The bad: This is at best a 4* place if I'm generous.
-The wifi was very very slow with speed test of 1-2 at times! There were nights I could not load emails on my phone, forget streaming a video. Kyle tried to address this with partial success. The speed test never went above 7 at nights when likely used by multiple people.
-The building is very old with an elevator that can be spotty in its functionality.
-The mattress was very thin. I could feel the slabs of the bed frame.
-The fridge in the room was much smaller than the one in the pictures.
-There is no dining table in the room despite the pictures in the listing.
-The TV in the room was smaller than my laptop screen.
-The toilet was not flushed 8/10 times.
-The place overall is definitely not as nice as depicted in the pictures.
I stayed in this place for a month. It may be a suitable option if you're not picky and only staying for a brief time. But if you need high speed internet for work or staying for a long period of time, I suggest alternative options.
