This apartment has a lot in its favor—location close to Hyde Park and two tube stations, large rooms and two and a half bathrooms—but unfortunately its potential is far from fulfilled. I stayed here for four nights with my partner and my parents (in their 60s). To begin with, it seems a tad disingenuous that they begin charging for “extra persons” after the first guest in a three-bedroom apartment--clearly a strategy to appear below market price when first searching but the price goes up quick at 20 quid extra per head per night. I was also a bit annoyed that the property managers required me to pick up the keys from their office (10 min walk) rather than meeting us on-site. I left my family on the stoop, in the rain, to find three men in the office sitting around. I was then told that the elevator was out of order and we would have to lug our heavy bags up four flights of stairs, which was especially hard on my parents (the lift was fixed the next day). On the third floor landing there was a large wardrobe blocking half the staircase (fire hazard?), and it remained there for the duration of our stay, as did random building materials on another landings (much of the building appeared to be owned by one person/group). Inside the apartment one of the bedroom doors doesn’t close all the way (privacy issues), the walls are stained and need painting, the roof leaked during the first night of rain (all over my mom’s shoes), and there is a minor ant infestation. The smoke detector (I think, I never could confirm) randomly beeped at odd hours of the day and night. Sheets and towels were cheap and scratchy, and the apartment is poorly decorated compared to other listings I've seen in the same area of London for comparable prices. The positives of the apartment are what I said in the beginning: good location, large rooms (there is plenty of space) and a well-equipped kitchen. But I can't recommend this apartment until the issues are addressed or the price is significantly reduced.
