After many years of renting several times a year this will be my very first somewhat negative review. Basically the flat is very overpriced for what it is given the second bedroom and bathroom, and the general presentation of the accommodation. With cleaning we paid 400 pounds a night.
Pros: great location which feels safe. Plenty of shops etc nearby. Easy walks to the river , Balham or wherever. Nice main bedroom and bathroom. Good bedding and towels.
Cons: the second bathroom is a no go essentially. So small the tiny sink can only be accessed with the door closed. The only way you can clean your teeth or wash your face is by stooping low under the medicine cabinet. The drain of the shower was blocked so we never used it. Host didn`t communicate once we`d checked in. The cleaner would have known about it anyway.
The second bedroom is so small the only place to put a suitcase is on the floor and climb over it Fan in the closet is old and broken.
The flat is under the flight path so bring earplugs if you`re a light sleeper.
Generally though the flat is in need of attention and maintenance- the first thing we noticed were large stains on the stair carpet and some in other areas. The living room hearth is scuffed and chipped and the curtain is hanging down at one side. A kitchen cupboard needs fixing. The sofa cushions smell of body odour. There are two large broken wooden horse ornaments on display.
Again- if we`d paid considerably less it would be fine. But at 400 a night it really is overpriced.
