140 Drummond St is a FANTASTIC location in London, within a 5 minute walk of 3 different stations (Warren St, Euston, Euston Square), 2 minute walk from two convenience/grocery stores (one of which is 24 hour), and a selection of excellent restaurants right along the street. In terms of convenience, we could not have picked a better location for the price. A large selection of points of interest and fantastic food are within a 2 mile walk of the apartment, and pretty much anything you'd want to see is within a 10-20 minute tube ride.
The flat itself is clean and cozy and will meet all basic needs, although the layout (especially the very narrow and oddly angled hallway) leaves lots of questions of how it came to be this way. One bathroom is a complete set but the second is split between a toilet/sink in one room and a shower/sink at the end of the hall that was almost certainly originally a storage closet. Some rooms have switches, others have pull strings hanging from the ceiling. The unit comes with a washing machine and drying rack, as well as a variety of thoughtful, basic amenities (including two umbrellas). There is just enough room in the room with two twins to merge them into a king bed on one side of the room, if desired.
That said, it's clear from the wear and tear that the unit's primary use is as an airbnb and while clean, has been minimally maintained. Most of the blinds are jammed in some way, there are holes worn in the protective surface of the various ikea dining table/countertop, and probably the biggest gripe is that the 2nd bathroom ceiling has mold growing on it (you can smell it too) due to the ventilation fan not working. These are all things that could be fixed relatively quickly, however for these reasons I am unable to give this unit 5 stars.
I was a bit nervous about response times in the weeks prior to our stay, however the day before and during our stay communication was very timely and we were appreciative of the accommodations Lee and his property manager Bia were able to make for us.
Despite the negatives listed above, I would consider staying here again, and would recommend it to others, especially if the bathroom gets fixed.
