Pros: location! 4 min walk to the new Farringdon/Barbican station which provides access to the Elizabeth line change in Paddington and takes you straight to Heathrow. Fantastic neighborhood! Great restaurant at the corner Stem and Glory, delicious plant base food. Bath towels are great. Washer is a plus. Spacious kitchen.
Good communication with host.
Cons: No hair dryer. I asked the host about it and basically just told me to look harder, which I did. Was hoping she would offer to bring one. Couldn’t figure out how to open the bedroom window and there is no fan provided. It got very hot in the bedroom. Bed is ok and pillows could use an upgrade. There is construction right next door which is very loud in the early morning and it looks like it will be there for a while. They don’t work on the weekends though, so that was nice. No outlet in the bathroom, only for shavers? At least I didn’t see one. Pick up and drop off keys at a different location, about an 8 min walk. Kind of a hassle if you have luggage to carry.
Overall it was a good stay.
