A nice place to stay for a weekend. Definitely the size to suit only one person. There’s no way I could’ve comfortably stayed here if I had a friend stay with me. The kitchenette is very convenient and nice.
The washing/dryer machine was also very convenient but obnoxiously loud. It’s probably normal, but don’t make the mistake of washing clothes in the middle of the night like I did.
Check in was pretty simple. Sam was very nice and helped me take my heavy bag upstairs. I did have a small issue of getting into contact with the host because my phone was unable to make calls, but it’s not a big deal.
Keep in mind that if you travel heavy, you’ll have some trouble getting luggage down the stairs.
The location is VERY convenient. It has to be my favorite part of staying here. Just a few steps to paddington station and nice places to eat around.
My only complaints would be that the toilet space and shower are severely small. I’m 5’3 and have an average build and had trouble turning comfortably in the shower. The hot water does run out after a while too.
There was an issue with the cleanliness of the bed and shower. It was very obvious that the sheets and blanket were not changed because there was hair on the bed and a bandage stuck to the blanket. Luckily I had my own bedding to change into. The shower also still had hair on the walls.
There was also no trash bin anywhere. I’m sure the host would’ve brought me one but I just settled for using a trash bag.
Overall, I probably wouldn’t stay here again just because I prefer bigger places. But the place is nice if that’s not an issue for you. Super convenient and safe. It is a very nice place and I would recommend it, it’s just not for me.
