This place is a great location for exploring the city centre! We were walking distance to most things and if not, then the tube was just around the corner.
The host has colleagues who work with him and live very close by. We were able to contact them with any questions and concerns and they promptly replied! We asked for hand towels and laundry soap and they came by within 15 mins to drop off products they purchased at the store! We also had a couple of substantial issues during our stay with plumbing and locks. It was so nice to have the host 5 minutes away and able to come assist us promptly. They fixed everything and were extremely pleasant to deal with!
Some minor issues to consider:
Location is in city centre close to many hospitals…quite loud at night with sirens…especially in summer with windows open.
No dish/tea towels, no coffee maker, no dishwasher (they never claimed they had them but we missed that in the listing so just wished we had those things). Not the best equipped kitchen for cooking but perfect for a quick breakfast before you head out exploring!
No mattress pads on beds
You can’t use water while someone was in the shower because the temp would change and burn the person showering…so we had 2 bathrooms but couldn’t use them at the same time.
The overall cleanliness was good but it is an old and tired apartment so it can’t be perfect.
The biggest plus was dealing with the hosts who were so kind and willing to help with anything the could.
