A very basic place to stay, with what you get for this price range I suppose. We were a bit disappointed that we were not allowed to store our luggage there during our last day. It's a very basic thing, for guests to want to leave their luggage for a few hours and if I had know before I booked I would have found a different location. But the host was very clear this was not possible so I opted for a locker near Victoria that cost almost as much as a night in the room.
When we arrived we realised the elevator to the 4th floor is broken, this was not stated in the listing but it has clearly been out of order for a while and there were noticies that it would be out of order for the next several weeks.
The room is very warm and spacious. The view from the balcony is lovely. Sheets and towels were clean. There was old food in the fridge (an open bucket of hummus, water bottles that had been opened). The bed frame is severely broken and we were afraid it would fall completely apart during our stay so we moved the mattress to the floor, rather than take the chance we would wake up during a fall.
Kitchen area is very grimy, I don't care how professionally cleaned the apartment is, everything you could touch in there was either sticky or greasy. Guests in other rooms were polite but quite inconsiderate, with one guest deciding to do a load of laundry at 4am in the morning. The washing machine is right next to the room, so it was not very cosy to sleep during the wash cycle. I'm surprised the host does not put a notice to ask guests not to wash during the night time.
Location and price is quite good, but as many reviews have already stated, it's not a place to spend much time at.
