Let me start by saying I loved staying here. It was convenient, quaint, and the perfect size for just me. Maya was quick to answer questions, and a lot of my issues were never communicated to her and/or were out of her control. However, I would want to know the below information, so wanted to share my overall honest opinion. Initial impression Appreciated the small touches like fresh flowers, bread, milk, juice, and food. Not really sure if the pasta was meant for me, but a bad day kept me indoors all day so I helped myself. Maya’s friend let me in, seemed rushed, and didn't show me anything besides “one of these keys work”. I had him stay while I figured out the building door, but the apartment door is confusing too and I didn't have any help with that. Maya was quick with text answers when I had questions about the bathroom, and carnival going on though. Location The good So close to the underground which made getting everywhere so convenient. Also close to grocery stores, shops, and restaurants. Plus, you get to be in Notting Hill and walk the street admiring all the beautiful homes :) The not so good I was here during Carnival- which is not at all a kiddo carnival like I was expecting. These things are out of Maya's control, but the place is right in the center of it, meaning loud noise all the time. I ventured out to see what it was all about, and it took me over an hour to get back once I decided to head that way, as many of the streets were blocked off by police and you needed permit access, or there were just too many people in the way. Plus, the stairwell to the apartment gets used as a urinal, so I was constantly trying to dodge pee on the steps which apparently “is just part of the crazy carnival.” Interior The good Loved the full kitchen and washer. Dryer didn't dry clothes- but I am not tech savvy and will totally claim possible user error on that one. Was still nice to wash and hang dry. Bathroom/shower combo is interesting, but I love a good raining shower head. The not so good First day had a mildew type smell when first walking in- I didn't notice it the rest of the time, so could have had something to do with the Carnival. Could use a solid deep clean. Bathroom was pretty dusty and there were used tissues next to my bed, making me question if/when it had been cleaned. I'm not much of a germaphobe, so considering I was battling a river of urine to get in the place, what's a few used tissues on top of that? WiFi was super spotty for me and often didn't work. I am on t mobile with an international plan. I also did not complain about this to Maya, as I was able to use 3g/4g...
