POSITIVES:
Location is key with this listing. With the Kennington Tube station right at the end of the road, it makes trips anywhere in London a breeze. The home is large (especially the kitchen) and great for a large family like ours. The beds were all comfortable and with clean sheets and comforters, which is great. The neighborhood was quiet and it really felt like living in London.

ISSUES:
We had quite a few issues with the home compared to the actual listing — the microwave, dishwasher, part of the stove, and vent over the stove didn't work upon first trying them. They did send out a repair person on our 2nd or 3rd day but they were not able to fix the microwave or vent. The back door to the kitchen was also not able to open which was fixed on the 2nd day. The most disappointing was the garden was completely overgrown compared to what's shown online, had a broken step on the patio and a bowl of leftover cigarette buds.

Another thing to note is that parking is not included. This is mentioned in the introduction e-mail but not on the listing itself that I saw. The positive here is that you can easily get an affordable parking space using justpark.com — we found a spot just around the corner at a church.

This home is 4 stories, so the steep stairs could be a bit of a challenge for some folks but it's likely common in a city like London and worked out fine for our family (even with young children).

OVERALL:
Despite some of the issues, we'd still recommend this home for someone looking for quick access to the city and a space for plenty of people to rest and eat. With just a little TLC, this home could be a really amazing location.
