Stayed in London for 7 days 6 nights with my college age daughter. Wanted to explore London by foot, bike and subway. This place is convenient and central with subway stops and several bus lines and a bike sharing stand just outside the building.
The place is on a high floor and gets sun all day. There are no blinds or curtains in the living room, which during the August'22 heatwave made the place very hot and difficult to cool down. Once the weather cooled down, it was more pleasant to sleep and spend time in mornings and nights. There is no fan to help cool you or the apartment down during extreme heat.
The place feels spacious, but is in need of repairs and could use an upgrade of countertops in the kitchen and tile repair in the bathroom. A few unfortunate accidents from guests prior to us resulted in a bathroom door that didn't work and one less chair to sit on in the living room. A big cable was duct taped to the wall above the balcony door, but had fallen down onto the living room floor with staples exposed, a potential danger when barefoot. 10-12 posters had been on the walls, but had been removed with poster putty left exposed.
The key pickup is not convenient - it's in a different location than the actual place you will be staying at, a 10-12 minute walk away. If you have rolling bags, you have to drag them a few city blocks before you reach your sleeping destination.
The host is responsive, but was not in the country during our stay.
The place looked nice in the pictures, but felt a bit run-down on arrival. If it's fixed up and our suggestions are addressed, it would be a nice place.
