We cannot recommend this Airbnb at all. It is clear the hosts have cut every corner imaginable, from the two cheap towels you’ll have to use to the horribly uncomfortable mattress with springs you can feel poking into you.
The first thing you notice is the giant construction site the building has turned into. We also found this to be quite loud and disruptive during our stay.
Let’s talk about the room itself: Are you hoping to sit on the sofa? It is filled with little stains and the whole thing sinks in with any weight, making it unusable. Not to mention peeling floorboards and lack of air conditioning.
It feels more like budget student housing than the luxury experience advertised. I’ve stayed in “budget hotels” in London for much less than this. It should be priced and advertised accordingly. No thoughtful touches (the welcome kit consists of a few instant coffees and three tiny containers of shampoo, lotion and body wash).
The only positive thing I can say is that it’s between a 10-15 minute walk to the south Kensington tube station.
