I have spent 3 nights in Kellys apartment.
Pros :
- the apartment is bigger than it seems in photos, it was very clean and cozy
- the host let us leave the luggage in the apartment a little past our checkout time, upon our request
- The beds are comfy
- The price is unbeatable for central London
Cons :
- The checkin is very late. 4 or 5 pm
- The apartment is situated on a high street, the central street of the neighborhood with all the bars and pubs. The windows face the street. I cannot explain to you the level of noise. On Friday someone parked a car in front of the building, opened the door and blasted the stereo so loud our windows were shaking, and the whole neighborhood gathered around it to dance. It was a literal nightmare, until 3 AM. The sound isolation is very poor in the apartment and we barely slept during our stay.
- The host refused to provide us with extra towels. There were two of us and 3 towels, one small and two big. We naively believed there would be more towels and put one on the floor in front of the shower. When I asked Kelly for some more towels, she said no. We had no towels for our hair and no hand towels. This is the first time in my life I have encountered this - it is a must in hospitality and I was very disappointed.
- the radiators are placed in direct contact with the top of the bed, having all that heat right next to your head is not great.
Overall, I would recommend this place to someone who plans on going out late at night, or sleeps like the dead no matter the noise. And someone who doesn’t have long hair that needs to be towel wrapped 😅
