A great one bedroom with double bed and space to hang your clothes.
Our main issue was the cleaning. Mold in the washer made doing laundry an issue. Tried cleaning and clothes came out smelling. Having a similar washer at home, it was obvious that the mold had been there in the door gasket and had been building up over time. I cleaned it several times with the available cleaning supplies but didn’t make much of a dent. Finally went and bought some bleach.
Similarly there was mold in the caulking behind the sink.
Stove was in bad shape with two pans were left in it with flakes off coatings making them unsafe to use. When turning on the oven, lack of cleaning resulted in smoke billowing out each time we opened the oven door. Any food we used the oven for was “smoked”. All the decals indicating the oven function and temperature were badly worn off. Same issue with the microwave in terms of cleanliness.
Extensive use of air fresheners throughout the suite makes it difficult if you have sensitivity to perfumes.
Bed was comfortable and well
Used.
Plenty of silver ware, plates of assorted varieties, and cookware.
Fridge was available but freezer was full of Cassie’s food so we weren’t able to use.
Had some chilly nights and the heat wasn’t turned on so we did our best to stay warm. Bathroom fan and stove fans wouldn’t work.
It’s a relativity new build building, so “bones” are good. But it’s also a well used home, so little things like crumbs in the couch cushions and baseboards in need of dusting were a bit off putting.
If you are planning on using public Transportation, know that the closest tube stations are a good 15 minute walk. Transit times to down town are a minimum of an hour. If your hopping on a train anywhere outside the city, you can catch the Isleworth train station which is a 5 minute walk. That being said you have to take train into the City before you can catch any trains outward to other destinations.
Neighbour is nice and clean. Plane noise is a bit of an issue due to proximity to Heathrow, but only in mornings and early evenings.
It was fun to hear the foxes crying during the night.
