The flat is in a good location for visiting London. There are numerous cafes, restaurants, bars and food shops nearby. It is possible to walk to parks like Russell Square, or to Covent Garden. There are a couple of good bus services within a couple of minutes walk and the tube stations are 10-15 minutes away.
There is a brilliant pub called The Duke at the end of the road.
The flat is spacious and has plenty of storage.
The kitchen is well equipped for cooking, with plenty of pots and pans, etc.
The fact that it’s on a side street means it’s relatively quiet too.
The negatives are the cleanliness - it is not filthy, but it needs a really good clean. It looks like it gets “a lick and a promise”.
The beds are hard, but everyone likes different mattresses.
For us, the big problem sleeping came because of very thin curtains which let too much light in (even the street lights and the lights in the building across the road were visible with the curtains closed.)
Some TLC is needed for the sofa.
There were plenty of dishes, but only 2 mugs!
All in all, I would not rule it out, but would take an eye mask for sleeping and a pair of marigolds to clean the place properly if I came again.
