January 2019:
- I stayed cold/winter month(s) in the two(2) small/basic/minimalistic/ ensuite WC flats in the bldg. Super great host (Antonio) = quick to respond and extremely accommodating and flexible to guests needs. Location = unbeatable, near three tube statins, three supermarkets and lots of activities neighbourhood.
1) I did not see any evidence of "HOT TUBS" listed in the bldg. There are regular tubs (no jacuzzi jets) with shower and in the two (flats) only.
2) It is an old, three(3) EU floors (0+3) bldg. , on commercial street very near Goodge Street Tube/Metro station (super excellent location); reformatted/reconstituted to:
-- Level 0 = Street/Ground/level Restaurant with sidewalk smoking/eating tables, rain or shine, to late night every 7 nights.
-- Level 1 & 2= Two (2) flats, small/minimalistic/basic amenities with ensuite WC (simple tub+shower), and bedroom(s) with/without working darkenin shades , right above restaurant facing street/AM sun.
-- Level 3 = Various rooms amenities and with/without/share WC/shower, plus a small community kitchen (sink+hot plate/hob) no exhaust/extractor fan in the stairwell.
- Soundproofing = No - Noise= Yes, from street, sidewalk, outside, and inside bldg. walls, floors, ceiling, front door... Single rear Kitchen windows faces below restaurant ceiling + industrial/commercial HVAC fans for shops/etc. along with the restaurant not well insulated (odorwise) exhaust pipe running right along the kitchen window.
- I felt I was in an overpriced (even with discount) transient 1-star Hostel of flats and rooms at a great location/great host.
-Would stay again if the price was right and the quality, amenities updated/upgraded.
