This was one of the worst Airbnb experiences I have had.
Firstly, arriving late will cost you an extra £25 if Susan is not in the house since she asks her cleaner to stay behind, only to leave the keys under the mat. We arriving at around 930pm. I would have thought that a lockbox could do just as good a job - when I rent my apartment out I use one without any issue.
Upon arrival, there was soaking wet bedsheets hanging out to dry all over the house. They were left right in the middle of the common area so we had to move those to be able to get into our bedroom.
The bedroom we stayed in isn’t even the one I’m leaving the review for due to a mistake on my end, I booked the queen size room by accident, which was $20 more expensive, but Susan asked us to stay in the smaller double bedroom - and didn’t change the price. I actually managed to get Airbnb to refund the difference which was amazing of them!
The room we stayed in had a double bed that is barely big enough for two smaller people to stay in. And the duvet doesn’t cover two people at all. We had to find another blanket to use.
The common area on the second floor has a tv which doesn’t work, it won’t even turn on so I couldn’t even plug my laptop in to watch a movie which was annoying.
The furnishings in the house are quite eclectic and there isn’t many good spaces to sit down and relax since it’s quite cluttered - also there is not balconies or outdoor areas.
On the positive side - the house is in a great location close to everything in Clapham, without being noisy at night.
If you are planning to use this place just as a room to sleep after being out seeing London all day, then it might be okay, but it’s definitely not the sort of place you can feel ‘homely’ in.
I wouldn’t stay here again, or recommend anyone I know to stay here.
Very disappointing since we had such high expectations.
