I was a bit nervous about booking this space since Hamza was apparently new to AirBnB. We talked on the phone before my trip, so that put me at ease a good bit. I did not get to meet Hamza personally, but he still managed to take care of us by giving us every instruction that we needed and leaving snacks for us!
The location is very nice. It is within walking distance to so much, yet is still in a surprisingly quiet area. The building is lovely. Within feet of the front door is everything you need - McDonalds, Starbucks, barber shops (fancy a haircut on Fleet Street if you dare), clothing stores, a little hardware-type store, pubs, etc etc etc.
The flat itself is quite spacious. It is about as large as a hotel room in the U.S. The bathroom is large enough for one person to shower, another to use the toilet, a third to shave, and a fourth to do laundry without them all getting in the way of one another ... not that there should be four people in that bathroom. The water pressure is there one minute, not there the next. It was not disastrous, however.
There is a place for your coats and shoes by the entrance.
The living room is cozy, though you will have to turn sideways if two people are walking in opposite directions. Two of us found the sofa bed comfortable, two others found it not too comfortable but acceptable.
The kitchen is tiny; it's a true European kitchen! It has what you need, but keep in mind that it is a mini version of what you need (same as the washer/dryer combo that can take 4 hours to do a very small amount of clothing, though we had this issue everywhere in London).
The bedroom is a nice size. The bed was very comfortable (it is firm), and we had enough room to lay down the extra mattress (not firm) that Hamza provided for us.
The views of the old Maughan Library across the courtyard are what I expected of London.
The wall heaters in this flat (one in the living room, the other butted against the bed) work very well. They worked a little too well, though that may have been our ignorance. It was a vicious, comical circle of turning heaters on to warm up, turning heaters off, opening windows to cool down, so on and so forth.
I believe we were Hamza's first guests. He made a few rookie mistakes (no blankets or towels), but he was quick to respond to my emails. It was an extremely enjoyable stay!
