The flat is well situated within the heart of Battersea and the interior is spectacular with a modern twist not to mention the lovely views we got from the balcony and the late afternoon strolls we did along the Thames.
We were quite unsure as to why during check-in, dry towels weren’t provided on the get go and the towels from the last guest were still being left to dry inside the restroom (Good hosts usually replace the towels with new clean dry ones after each check out).
There were some prescription meds left in the cupboards and expired vaccines on the fridge which prompted me to message the host immediately to clarify if the place is being used to treat patients. The host clarified via phone call that being a GP, some of the meds are to be dispensed on the go when she attends to patients outside the flat and that she assured us the flat is cleaned thoroughly and that no clinical procedures were done inside the flat itself.
I let it pass since pretty much our stay was uneventful but as someone working in healthcare myself, proper storage of these meds are usually followed through strictly inside hospitals (there were packets of antibiotics with some expired and there were also syringes and IV giving sets). The host said she’ll dispose of them in due time.
Would be really helpful to have a manual to let guests know the dos and dont’s as well as local recommendations within the area. Much to improve on but the place has a lot of potential.
