This was not the rental we were expecting. As soon as we walked in, I went back to the property listing to be sure we were in the right place. This is not a "stunning apartment" - it's in a short term rental building and is totally lacking charm; it feels like a 1 or 2 star hotel. The location is fantastic, the host is very responsive, but the rest is pretty mediocre.
- It sounds like the London Tube is driving right through the apartment. When we were in bed, we could feel the shake of the trains and it was quite loud. The only good news is that there are few trains in the middle of the night.
- The cute porch shown in the pictures faces out to another building which is a shared office space and they look right in the window. No chairs, just cigarette butts.
- When we arrived, the bedroom closet was totally full of wet towels and bedding that were left to air dry. They gave the bedroom a musty smell and there was no room for our clothes. The host removed them upon request.
