I arrived at station, contacted Shireen, whose number David shared for keys and whom i already informed about my estimated arrival time. However, instead of being at airbnb, She asked me to come to her home to collect keys, which was a 15-20 mins walk on Elgin Road opposite the station. I had to drag my 2 full-size luggage to her place, all tired and unable to find the location (mind you this was my first time in London!) I got Uber from her place back to Airbnb cus I was unable to walk another 30 mins with my luggage, it incurred me extra £11.
The room was smaller & was not at all decorated like it was shown on the website. The bins remained full over the weekend, spare doors placed on ground in the hallway, giving flat a storeroom sort of look, toilet paper was out & kitchen needed some cleaning too. Eventually, cleaning was done on weekday.
Apart from Day1 &2, I enjoyed peaceful stay at airbnb, the place was central & ideal. David was super nice to allow me late check out.
