Apartment is 1hr away from centre of London if you are taking public transportation as most tourists do. The apartment is definitely a bachelor's pad, the kitchen was an absolute mess and not usable. We used just the kettle and just getting around the kitchen was gross. Unwrapped food on the counter and fridge, and bags of garbage made the place smell. We arrived early which the host was agreeable on, his girlfriend let us in which was expected. We were told the day before arriving we might have to wait in the living room for the place to be cleaned. When we got there the previous guests were still sleeping and we're being kicked out so quick. The girlfriend (very nice) changed the bed and vaccines in 5 minutes and that was it. Bathroom was not cleaned and definitely not the kitchen, I don't see a reason to pay for a cleaning fee. There's no use of the living room (noted on the listing) which is 100% correct, we were in our bedroom the whole time we were there. The host had friends staying over the weekend also which we didn't know about until later, made us uneasy as who we were staying with (safety concerns). The friends and host blasted music until late at night and did not have any concern until we asked them the next day to have it quieter and be considerate (which they were once we spoke up). Bathroom was good except the tub had a hand held shower head, it should be mentioned in the listing so foreigners are aware - it was a culture shock to us. Only enough water for one shower each night also... Bed is a Murphy bed and not comfortable what so ever. So with the kitchen a disaster and bed very uncomfortable we considered leaving early for a hotel but decided to just suck it up until the end. Would not recommend this Airbnb to anyone unless you're cheap and don't care about living conditions.
