So our review really has to separate the host from the place. Sam was an excellent host that went out of his way to take us in late night at a moments notice. He was super friendly and very responsive. For his hospitality, I give him five stars without even a second thought. This is the upshot. The flat, however, needs some work. And the impression from the description and the photos makes it out to be nicer than it is. The kitchen really needs some work. It’s just old and not well maintained. The whole place needs to be cleaned deeper. High spaces that tall folks can see we’re really dirty. The walls were also in need of a complete wipe down. Also, we happened to be there during a heat wave. Sam has purchased a new portable AC that we had to move into one bedroom to stay cool. Our kids suffered because their rooms were hot. But, the description didn’t say AC was included, so I guess we were lucky to have any AC at all! There was also an older portable AC in one of the rooms but it leaked and didn’t really cool. The description mentions the flat has a hot tub. It has a bath tub, not a hot tub. That’s misleading from the standpoint that if a place has a hot tub, you think it’s pretty luxurious. Not the case. The living and dining area was nice, but we didn’t use it because we were only there two nights sightseeing. The size of the place was great given that we were a party of four. Two bedrooms and two baths was great. Location was ok. About a half mile walk to the marble arch and Hyde Park. Definitely a great location if you want to try out international cuisine. I really feel bad not being able to give this place a higher rating due to the fact that Sam was so accommodating and friendly. But this is my honest opinion.
