David’s place was a combination of some great, some good and some bad:
1. The Great: Location. Perfectly situated close to the city, easy reach tube, with a Waitrose nearby, plus the amazing access to walk the area, local restaurants and enjoy this beautiful setting.
2. The Good: the flat itself was okay. On the plus side, it’s a good size flat for London. Great kitchen and great bathroom. On the downside, bed could be better with cleaner comforters and pillows, and both sofa and dinning table set are cheap “Ikea type”. Windows are old and drafty. TV is limited to local free channels (plus Netflix/Prime). Lacks setup to “work from home“ comfortably.
3. The Bad: the building. Be aware that we would have rated David’s place a 4/5 except for the building it is in. Not nice. Open corridors, iron gates on doors and windows, dirty floors, housing project vibe to it. We definitely were concerned about security (and the two deadbolts in the flat’s door confirms it).
