I hesitate to do this, but I feel it important to tell a cautionary tale about this place. I never met Marsha personally -- as it seems with everyone else who has reviewed the flat. Over the phone and via e-mails she is as nice as stated in the reviews as was Arvind who opened the flat up for us.
My wife and I were not able to stay in the flat, it turns out, because the steepness of the stairs prevented her from getting up and down easily as a result of a knee injury she suffered two days before we left for London. But honestly, we would have left anyway.
The front door of the building has obviously been opened with a crowbar by one or more persons at some point and in combination with the trash out front and in the hallways does not leave one with a very comfortable feeling. The 'TV' in the front room is but a computer monitor that can, presumably, work as a real TV if you hook it up to your own computer, but I couldn't even try that because there was no power coming from the plug behind the bookcase. The wi-Fi did not work with the password given. What looks to be a headboard at the bed is actually an old mattress. There were boxes of stuff sitting beside the sofa. I had to stop the toilet from leaking. I could go on.
I have lived in London and in Ireland ford a total of four years over the course of my life so I know what to expect and not to expect. This did not meet any expectations I had based on the previous reviews.
I am pleased to say that Airbnb very satisfactorily resolved the issues I had with the flat. It is very confidence-inspiring to know they are so responsible.
I will say that if you are looking for a cheap place to stay in London, this is the ticket and it is a great neighborhood.
