While location and communication were wonderful the space was not what we anticipated. There was a very strong chemical smell that never dissipated during our 2 day stay. We have booked with airbnb all over the world and this was our first poor experience. The space was as clean as it could be but the old carpeting, stained furniture and bedding, and smell made for an overall feeling of un-cleanliness. The shower could use some love as well- scalding hot or chilly and the shower head had to be used as a hand-held as water couldn't be accessed otherwise bc of angle. I would also be careful with small children and elderly clients using the stairs. We've never written a poor review before but dislike the idea of our experience being repeated. We considered getting a hotel but decided to stick it out as it was a short stay and Pride made for limited options during our 2 days in London.
