This unit has the potential to be great value for money. It's not a luxury flat - think of it like a Holiday Inn Express. It's located in a quiet neighborhood a short walk to the Colliers Wood station on the Northern Line. The hosts are clearly trying to make it nice for their guests and the place was clean and came with all the essentials, including a hair dryer even though it wasn't included in the listing.
There are a few downsides worth mentioning:
* The living room is accessed through the bedroom, so if you need to make use of the second bed, one person will have to walk through the other person's bedroom.
*The mattress isn't great - we could feel the springs through cover/sheets.
*The front of the house is messy and unswept. Instructions say that guests need to put the trash and recycling out on pickup days, which happen every other week. We were supposed to go online to figure out the schedule, which is clearly asking a bit much since the trash bins outside the front entrance were all full. With 2 units in the building, it's also easy to be lazy and assume the other guests would handle the chore. Yes, that was us - guilty as charged.
Eddy was easy to communicate with and was very responsive and helpful when we couldn't get on wifi in the kitchen.
