Matthew’s place was clean, comfortable and had all the amenities we need. The location was great as it was close to many restaurants, bus stops and the Angel tube station.
However, throughout our stay for 7 days and 6 nights, there was a power outage on 2 occasions. On the first occasion, it was simply sorted by pushing one of the fuses back up. Matthew was helpful in that he responded swiftly to assist us in resolving the issue. However on the second occasion, the power outage occurred around 11.30pm and we contacted Matthew but there was no response as it was late at night. We checked the fuse box and everything was working fine so we had no idea what was going on and how to resolve the issue. As we have to check out early in the morning the following day, it was inconvenient to manoeuvre around with no electricity and we had to rely on the flashlights on our devices.
Another thing to keep in mind if you would be bringing large suitcases - there are no lifts to access the apartment and you would need to carry your luggages up a flight of narrow U-shaped stairs. The 180-degree turn and the wet stairs filled with leaves (due to wet weather as the staircase was not covered with shades) makes it challenging to move large suitcases up and down.
