I had a terrible experience with this apartment. I was in communication with the hosts before I booked. They failed to notify my that the apartment was in the middle of London's Carnival the weekend I was arriving. Upon arrival, I immediately noticed that the businesses surrounding the apartment were boarded up. Because of the craziness of Carnival that was about to ensue. I immediately contacted the host asking that they release me from the reservation; because of the circumstances. They refused. Claiming that it was not their job to let me know. And that it was just like "any event". It was not just any event. It was 2.5 million people descending on the street where the apartment was located. And no "regular event" requires neighboring businesses to board up their storefronts. Mirko was super condescending and unwilling to compromise. I even offered to pay for 3 days even though I only stayed 1 night. He offered to reimburse me HALF for any days they rented the apartment after I canceled; but in the same breath also stated that they were not going to ever rent to partygoers. And no one in their right mind would ever rent this place during Carnival UNLESS they were partygoers. Furthermore, I had inquired about the temperature in the apartment because London was in the middle of a heatwave. I was told there was a fan. There was a disassembled fan in a box w no tools t assemble it. And the bathroom was atrocious. Had a very serious mold problem and smelled terribly. I would ABSOLUTELY NOT recommend renting this apartment.
