Overall we had a good stay at Nick’s place! The apartment is in a great location ~3 min walk to the Oval underground station and there are plenty of restaurants, pubs, and convenience stores within walking distance. We especially enjoyed The Derby pub across the street. The wifi was fast and worked well even with two people doing work on it. The bed was very comfy, but was quite creaky so that was a bit annoying. There were a few things about the stay that didn’t sit well with me however. The check-in and check-out process is quite inconvenient as you need to pick up/drop off the keys from a convenience store that is a ~15 min walk from the apartment, which was not fun with luggage. And if you’re thinking you can hop off the tube and be right at the apartment for check-in/check-out that is not the case. Secondly, the apartment was not as clean as I expected. The back of the couch in the living room was incredibly dusty as well as most of the light fixtures and the fan in the bathroom. The dishwasher was also broken when we stayed which was a bummer. When we finally arrived at the apartment after a very long travel day I was looking forward to having a shower right away but found that both of the bath towels provided were still quite damp and took several more hours to dry before I was comfortable using either of them. They also didn’t have a freshly laundered smell so that made me a bit suspicious of their cleanliness. Also in the information we were provided via the houst website it stated that the shower screen was broken so we were advised to lay down towels to avoid excess water getting everywhere, but I’m not sure how we could’ve done that given that we were only provided with two already damp bath towels. Having clean, fresh bath linens to use is, I feel, a pretty basic expectation that wasn’t met so that was quite disappointing to me. That being said, our stay was still fine and with a few tweaks I think this would’ve been a really great Airbnb experience, but in its current state I would not stay here again.
