The pros: Good location, near tube and train stations. Nice eateries nearby. Walking distance to Hyde Park. Host was also agreeable to late checkout.
The cons:
Cleaning needs improvement, a lot of rubbish found under sofa and bed.
It’s not quiet - at junction on main road and also right next to lift (can hear people slamming the lift doors every hour or so).
The hassle to collect keys 5mins walk away.
Also, we were told the en-suite bath is only half functional after booking.
Then there was also this instance where we were told a plumber will come inspect a leak on the first day of our stay, while we are out but with our belongings in the place.
