Me and my friend stayed for 4 nights/5 days to get a well deserved break. The flat was nice but I must say there were more negatives than positives for us. The positives was the the flat was nice and spacious and does look how it looks in the photos, it’s in a great central location and the check in/out and communication with the agency was very easy and sufficient. The negatives were that from the moment I checked in, the flat was boiling hot and remained boiling hot throughout our stay, London’s reached up to 29degrees at one point and it was unbearable. The agent couldn’t figure out how to turn the air con on and there were not any clear instructions so we suffered with hardly any fresh air. Only about 4 of the windows opened ever so slightly, luckily the kitchen window was broken and was able to open full - otherwise there was no other ventilation. The other side to that was because of the location, having the windows even slightly open meant that it was so loud! But that’s expected in the area with lots of traffic and a busy station. There were not many supplies for us to cook with, I think it’s ok if you are not planning to ‘live’ there, we planned to cook most meals and then eat out a couple times but it was very hard with very limited utensils, but we made it work. To add to that,, the fridge didn’t work properly and was not cold,
So all the food we ended up buying went off…. There were no cleaning products or dish clothes to clean after ourselves, we had to go and buy them to keep the flat clean, we ran out of toilet tissue after being given only two roles for two people over 5 days. A few of the curtains were broken and the shower kept falling off the wall… just a few minor details that would have made our stay better if they paid more attention to little details. Overall, we had a good time. The biggest issue was how hot the flat was and let’s just say, I was happy to get home!
