When I entered the flat, the kitchen was terrible (the sink had not been washed, the microwave was dirty, the cupboards full of crumbs).
In the bathroom there was hair both on the floor and in the sink.
There was a torn prophylactic under the bed.
The curtains were totally filthy.
The "private patio terrace" was full of debris due to recent works on the external side of the building.
The handles of many closets were missing.
The whole apartment smelled like old smoke.
The pictures don't describe the apartment, since recently it has been "renovated" and kitchen and bedroom have been switched.
The description "luxurious apartment" doesn't absolutely fit.
The position was perfect, near Marylebone High Street, near Oxford Street, a couple of minutes away from Bond Street tube.
Venus, the agent who manages the apartment, was very collaborative and helpful both when I asked for a second set of keys and when I asked for a second thorough cleaning of the house (the first one I asked had been promptly delivered but the lady that came the first time wasn't very industriuous).
The bathroom was quite small but the shower was large and new and very clean.
The apartment in general was really smelly and noisy (during the night I could not sleep due to the smell of smoke, the neighbours stomping down the stairs at all time, other neighbours listening to the TV at impossible volume).
This apartment needs the curtains to be changed (I think it's impossible they can get cleaned or deodorized, too late), as well as the microwave, the missing handles, a full cleaning and deodorizing and some insulation from the stairs. It would also immensely benefit of a prohibition to smoke in the whole building (the guys of the other apartments smoke also in the hallway entrance), and a change of the entrance door to the flat which lets permeate the smells from the outside.
I spent 5000 (FIVE THOUSAND) euros for 17 days. The apartment, for the ASTROMONICALLY HIGH amount I paid, should have been PERFECT. It was severely far from it.
