This place is in a great location, just a couple of minutes walk from Earl's Court subway station, which is in the heart of London and is connected to 3 subway lines. The apartment is on the top floor of an old building (about 90 steps to the top), so it's okay if you're travelling light and have no health issues, but otherwise keep in mind that there is no lift. The cleanliness level could definitely be improved (finding other people's hair on the linens you'll have to use is not pleasant!), and so could the bed situation in the bedroom proper. The mattress is so thin that we have to put layers of blankets on it in order to be able to sleep through the night, or otherwise we could fell all the springs in there, and it would have been impossible to lay down for long like that. It would also be more accurate for the listing to say that this is a lived-in apartment, apparently. It is an independent flat, but I think this information should be shared in advance. Overall good value but there is definitely room for some improvements.
