PROS: Great location- close to multiple metro stops and Soho. The host was communicative and sweet. Easy check-in with great directions.
CONS: This flat is incredibly uncomfortable with zero frills. Mildewy towels, musty smells, sticky floors, uncomfortable furniture, peeling paint, no closet door. The lumpy bed didn't have a top sheet and there were no additional sheets to be found. The pillows were old, sweat stained and had been slept on so often they were uselessly flat. The Wifi worked well enough, unless there were multiple devices using it- then it would jam and fail. My husband and I could not complete our remote work at the same time. New Nespresso machine but no coffee pods. No soap in the very outdated shower. I put my travel case on top of the medicine cabinet only to have the bottom covered in grimy dust and rust stains. The place needs a deep clean. Windows open only at the bottom a bit so there is no air circulation- only one small fan in the flat.
This is the first truly terrible review I've left on Airbnb but it's worth sharing. No one comes to London to sit around in their Airbnb space but after a long day exploring the city, you want some creature comforts, feel at ease and enjoy sleep. This is NOT the flat that possesses the amenities where one can relax. Great location- bad space.
