Our stay in the Maide Vale flat was overall acceptable. Dolly, the manager was very responsive to our questions and needs. The photos did not represent the apartment we found. The couches are very uncomfortable. The second bed was uncomfortable. The kitchen and bath were functional but tiles are broken and some of the cupboards are broken and the counter in the kitchen is warped beyond repair. One of the bathroom windows is broken. The walls are dirty and in need on paint. The stovetop glass is broken but the stove works.
On the plus side, the neighborhood was convenient, the light and airflow was great (though we were there in a heat wave and it’s west facing), the TV works and the bus and underground are convenient.
Would I stay here again? I came to really enjoy the neighborhood and it felt like “home” after 2 months. But I think I’d look around for a different place.
