Our family of 4 recently spent 5 nights here during a vacation in London.
Location - The close location to Farringdon station makes this an excellent choice for those wishing to explore London. There are also many convenient options for coffee and groceries right out the door of the building. There are plenty of restaurants as well. However, the pubs in this area cater more towards the younger, working crowds. Pubs become busy during the week beginning around 4pm. We attempted to eat dinner around 6pm and could not find a place with space to accommodate us and/or that actually had the items on their menu.
Space - The space of the flat was good for a family of 4. We had plenty of room to spread out and enjoy our time comfortably. Our children (15 and 11) shared the second bedroom with no problem.
Flat amenities - We found the flat to be lacking in several areas. Unfortunately, the flat did not meet the description listed on AirBnB. There were no toiletries supplied upon check-in. There was also not enough toilet paper, dishwasher tabs or laundry detergent for a family of 4 for 5 nights. We messaged the host right away, but unfortunately did not hear back from them until we had already purchased these items. The primary bathroom is in need of renovation. There is mold in the shower, the shower head is covered in mold, and the tiles on the floor are loose and cracked. My husband and I ended up showering in the hall bathroom only, which has been renovated nicely. We cooked quite a few meals in the flat, and the kitchen is decently equipped for this. There are no measuring cups, however. The biggest issue we had was the temperature of the flat. It was only 60 degree F/15 degrees C while we were there, but the inside of the flat was HOT. The windows only open a slight crack due to the blinds, so it is impossible to cool off the flat. There is one fan, but we really needed a second for our kids' room. Communication was not always the greatest. It is obvious that it is not Chris who is managing the rental, but rather a company. The communication could be a little more timely and personal.
Overall, this is a good space that is convenient to the Underground. Hopefully, the host takes in to account some of the suggestions made which would make this a top notch place to stay in London.
