To get a an apartment with a kitchen and patio in the middle of Central London for this cheap was great! It's a stone throw away from Kensington gardens/Hyde park but that's already quite clear from the map.
The ample number of pictures for this property do justice to what you get in the end and there aren't any surprises.
Etsh was an amazing host. Although he couldn't meet us because he was traveling, we communicated a lot through chat. He was always super quick at responding to my messages and very helpful too.
The check in was very simple and we were even allowed early check in which was very useful.
We were handed 2 keys by his friend. One for the main door for the building and another for the apartment.
The apartment is in the basement adjacent to another one. There is a patio which has a common wall with the other apartment.
The room was quite large and very clean even if quite dated.
What I loved about the apartment was that it had separate bathroom and toilet which was useful for us as a family of 3.
The bed and the linen were clean and hotel like. The sofa-bed was easy to convert into a bed and was surprisingly comfortable (or I was just too tired to be affected :))
There was a lot of storage space in the apartment and so would be useful for someone who stays here for longer periods.
We didn't use the kitchen much but it had everything that a usable kitchen needs.
A few points in the negative but nothing that affected us a lot.
1. The corridors inside the building on the way to the apartment were untidy and filled with bags of linen, furniture etc.
2. The guests in the other apartment were talking in their patio all through the night which felt louder than it was because of the silence of the night and the patio having only a thin divider. Something I believe I read in another review as well.
These points however are minor compared to the great deal you're getting staying here and for getting a host like Etsh!
