Place was clean and decently fit-out. Plenty of space for someone trying to get situated in London and tube access was pretty good.
A few comments:
- The property is operated by a management company, not the owner (to be fair this is mentioned on the listing). What this means materially is that you need to contact them to get any info. They wouldn't respond to my messages in the Airbnb app until a few days later. I had to call them up to get things like a wifi password, and a code reset for my door when the code didn't work.
- The included foldable workstation in the room was unusable. It had torn away from the wall. This was frustrating as I needed to get some work done, but I guess not major. I learned that this had already been reported after I rang up.
- The doors are weirdly difficult to open...? Need to adjust the dampers I think.
- My room was on the top floor so would get quite hot during the night. Winter would be perfect though, I'm sure.
All in all, quite a transactional property to rent, which is great if that's what you're after. It's clean and tidy and it mostly works. Good value too.
