Unfortunately I wouldn’t stay here again.
entire unit smelled like cigarette smoke,
unit was filled with synthetic oil diffusers which stuck to our clothing for weeks + the Smoke smell. The diffusers were really more of the issue than the smoke, since the oils just would not wash out.
The white couch has several stains on it.
The carpet did not appear to have been vacuumed.
And countertops were only lightly wiped down.
Last, although out of the hosts control, there is heavy construction on the building across the street, starting promptly at 7 every morning.
Pros:
Nice sized unit, comfortable for two people.
Nicely appointed bathroom and kitchen.
good location if you want to be in Mayfair, near the park, close to the tube as well.
food in fridge was a nice touch
host helped to book an airport transfer
Good communications, easy in and out of unit.
side note: for anyone coming from the US. this is an EU King bed, smaller than a typical US King bed. Just something to be aware of.
Lesson learned, I should have spoken up sooner about the smell, but unfortunately only realized how bad it was after I got home and smelled the clothing from the trip.
