Hello. I would love to give my feedback over my stay at pm’s place. Me and my family consisting 5 of us were there for 5 nights. I hope that my truthful comments here would offer you some insight about this place.
The pros:
1) near to the metro station
2) near to tesco and sainsbury
3) washing and drying clothes could be done perfectly
4) the view from the apartment is nice and lively
5) quite a peaceful apartment ( no traffic noise).
The cons:
1) finding the apartment key from the food and wine store was a hassle
(Especially when you reached there at night/ the entrance to the building (the rockingham arms bar) was on the other side and it was very confusing/ the confusion continues when you are in the unfamiliar apartment area with all those similar looking block entrances/ luckily we were able to get one kind helpful grab driver who helped a lot with everything) If you are unlucky, your grab or taxi driver might just drop you and your luggage by the extremely busy roads out there)
And to my surprise, as a host pm didnt even send any text asking whether everything was okay or whether we already checked in safely to the apartment (I guess this is all standard procedure in being polite to others )We only had one reminder msg from him on the last night that is to check out by 12pm. I believe that the host could have been more concern and courteous which i think most of us would do the same when you have guests coming over. After all we are not staying there for free.
2) After the long hours of travelling, we deserve some rest and comfort especially a good sleep. However, I am very dissapointed with some conditions in the apartment.
- the pillows cant even be called pillows( they are old and flat. I need to use my neck rest pillow to help myself with my sleep. Pm shouldn’t be so calculative to spend some pounds on these - like seriously those pillows should be thrown away already.
- the bedsheet and the duvet are old and worn out already. They should be replaced with more decent ones. They are not presentable at all. The pillow cases do not match with the other pair too makes them look so irresistably annoying. The place doesnt put you in any holiday mood seriously. But thank god the real London out there saves us.
- no complimentary toothpaste or showerfoam provided by the host. I understand that we can buy them ourselves but i think the host should at least provide some just for the first day usage of the stay. It wont cost you much anyway.
- no complimentary tea/ coffee / milk provided too ( you may find some lefovers in the kitchen cabinet - probably expired already)
- your £250 John Lewis matress that need to be placed at the living room (as the rooms are very small) are not that comfortable actually. It must have been there for years right?
- the tv in one of the rooms also doesnt work. Should be fixed by right.
Overall, there is nothing fancy about this place. If you are looking for an exciting decent place to stay with your loved ones during your vacation, this might not be the one. I believe there are better places out there.
It will never compliment your holidays. Those little things mentioned should be taken into consideration by the host. As guests we deserve better from the host.
Thank you
