As a listing with no reviews at the time of booking, we took a gamble with Kamila’s place and lost. This is my first non 5-star review of a property and here’s why:
Pros:
- The space is decorated very beautifully
- The location to the bus, train, and tube are superb
- Plenty of pubs and markets nearby
- Decently stocked kitchen
Cons:
- The Wi-Fi is not functional. Kamila will tell you it’s only to be used for “light internet surfing” and this is simply not true. You cannot send an email or open a typical webpage
- You cannot control the temperature of the apartment as you are not allowed to access the room the thermostat (and water heater) are in.
- While there are plenty of windows in the property, Kamila says that you may not open the locked windows. They are all locked.
- The hot water heater either only runs in the morning, or does not function at night. Showers are only possible in the morning.
- A family lives directly above the space and is exceptionally noisy with kids running around at all hours
- The price is simply too high for the features that this property lacks
All in all, I would not stay at Kamila’s place again, and I would not recommend it to a friend. Its a nice space but decisions from Kamila and the home owner have made, make it a bad choice for an AirBNB.
