Quirky, large London flat that could be really great with some updates.
Pros: LOCATION (quick train from Heathrow to Paddington & less than a block from Edgware Station); SPACE (high ceilings; large reception-dining room; 3 of 4 bedrooms face quieter side of building; loved having a kitchen - grocery nearby). COMMUNICATION was easy & paying for early check-in was worth it.
Cons: FURNITURE (couches/chairs worn out/holes/stains & random items take away from the space like the bike/desk in main room, tables/lamps shoved under bookcases, dressers too big to be in the hallway, lightbulbs out in main bedroom ceiling). NOISE - we live in a major city so expected noise but main bedroom faces street so bring earplugs to accommodate for people screaming at all hours; heard someone get trapped in the lift (had to call fire dept). Cannot imagine noise with windows open. SUPPLIES: more/better bath towels; ran out of TP had to buy more; top sheet on beds vs just unwashed duvets pls.
