Pros:
-Great space with two full bedrooms and bathrooms, kitchen, living room area with a small table.
-The location is fantastic…roughly halfway between Vauxhall (bus, Victoria line tube, and overground train) and Oval (Northern line tube station). Tesco and Sainsbury grocery very close.
-The neighborhood is lovely!
-The bed in the master bed is very comfortable
-check in was super easy
-the showers were very nice with good water pressure and hot water
- There is no AC but there is great cross-ventilation to cool the flat down very quickly. (Just be mindful of propping doors so they don’t slam).
-Communication/responsiveness was mostly very good (very quickly) but she was not able to get someone to check out/fix a WiFi issue (see below).
Cons:
-the WiFi is provided by an extender rather than a router, so the signal is spotty at best. Unfortunately, it would not connect for us after the first night and was not resolved during our stay. This was an issue because we were visiting from abroad and could only make phone calls via WiFi, plus making any additional travel arrangements using international data is slow.
Amenities:
-Kitchen-the listing noted that basic supplies were in the kitchen (salt, pepper, oil, etc) but all we found was teabags and a sugar substitute like Splenda. The fridge is a mini.
-Towels were very worn and only two were included, despite the capacity of the flat.
Considerations for the stay: -the flat is clean and comfortable but worn and very simple. If all you need to do is shower and sleep while you explore, it’s perfect.
-Bring shampoo, body soap, etc. as the only thing provided is handsoap.
-The flat is up three flights and the stairway is narrow. It was a little hard dragging a large suitcase up there but doable. Also, they may be a challenge for anyone with mobility issues.
-The kitchen faces the street and there is a LOT of traffic noise. This might bother some when the windows are open.
