We had the unfortunate timing of being there during the rail workers strike. We realized upon arrival that without rail, it would be impossible to stay here and get into London. As a result, we were forced to cancel and instead we booked a last minute hotel in town. I appreciate Diego’s cancellation policy of only 24 hours so we were only charged for the first night despite cancelling last minute. We were at the apartment briefly and traveled there from the Eurostar train station so I will leave a review on the location and of the apartment:
Location: - The location is a significant walk from the train station, especially with suitcases so that’s something to keep in mind. As tourists, we were out and about in London until 10pm each night and the trip back to this Airbnb would have been a significant journey after a long day sightseeing in town so I was thankful to be in a hotel downtown.
Price: The main reason we booked was because the price was lower than just about anywhere else and the cancellation policy is the most flexible that Airbnb offers.
Apartment: The apartment is clean, as pictured. Definitely a budget accommodation. No luxury feel to this apartment at all. I would say it’s sufficient, nothing more. But you get what you pay for.
Host: Diego was always professional, courteous and willing to work with us. He was always prompt in his replies.
Knowing what I know now after being a tourist in London for a week, I will definitely book a place in town next time. The trip home after a long day in town is longer than I would want.
