This stay was a positive experience for the most part — we were able to drop our bags off early, the flat was as pictured, it was clean, the price was affordable to split between 7 of us, many restaurants and shops close by (eating at Mandaloun for Lebanese downstairs is a must!), there are 1.5 bathrooms and having the full bath be separated into two rooms — the first with a sink and shower and the second with a sink and toilet — made our stay with 7 guests feel a lot more comfortable, and initial communication was prompt. For example, we contacted the host about there not being enough cutlery in the flat to accommodate all of us and that there was no dishwasher soap. They came the next day with utensils and soap, and left us 2 bottles of Prosecco to apologize for the inconvenience.
Cons — there is a bedroom with a full size bed off the kitchen that has no door (only sheer curtains to cover the doorway), communication with host towards the end of our stay tapered off (we reached out about running out of toilet paper, no laundry detergent, and no counter spray/paper towels and received no response. We had to go buy these products ourselves in the end), some of the furniture was not in the best condition (dining table was not sturdy and we were informed during arrival that the dishwasher was broken), and the flat is a 16 minute walk to the nearest tube (we knew this going in, but throughout the week, it proved to make traveling to central London feel a lot more exhausting). The bar across the street was also a little rowdy at night on the weekend. We didn’t mind the noise, but others might.
