We were looking for a one-night Airbnb stay for a layover in London, and thought that this place would suit us well for our needs. Unfortunately, our experience did not match the pictures and description provided to us. The corridors in the building are not lit at all, which actually created quite a safety hazard, especially at night. Without using a flashlight, it is pitch-black and impossible to see. Now, imagine going up and down narrow stairs with luggage in these conditions- not ideal. When we arrived, all of the windows were open without explanation; this left us feeling unsettled. Both our room and the bathroom were dirty. The window "shade" (looked like a blanket) in our bedroom was falling apart. We found holes in our bed sheets. The front door of the building does not swing shut, meaning you are reliant on other guests to make sure it is closed and locked at all times- something we found out when we came back from dinner to see that the front door was wide open and anyone could have walked in and up to our room. Communication with the host was limited- basically only reached out to provide check-in information and did not reply to any of our questions and attempts to reach out. Upon leaving, we found out from one of the other guests in the residence that the hot water was not working. Overall, not a great experience- had our stay been longer than one night, we would have demanded our money back and looked for other accommodations.
