Would overall give the apartment 4-4.5/5 rating!
Pros-
The apartment is very well located with multiple supermarkets and bus stops close by, and we were 3 women and felt very safe in the neighbourhood, kings road and Harrods are close by.
The apartment is in the basement but is very well lit and the sit out is an added bonus especially if your visiting in the spring/ summer months.
It was sparkling clean when we came and extra and good quality linen was provided. It felt like a home away from home especially with the condiments and cutlery well stocked, along with the laundry detergents and soaps and shampoos.
Since we weren’t used to the cold weather the internal heating worked well. Which could also be used to cool the apartment down.
It was a reasonably spacious apartment and worth its price point.
Cons-
The rooms were slightly smaller than expected and the beds could just about accommodate 2 mid sized adults.
The en suite bathroom, was a little compact and there wasn’t enough space to store our toiletries.
The room with the en-suite toilets main light was not working, and this hadn’t been checked by the house keeper/owner. Luckily the side table lamps were bright enough, so we didn’t need to call the electrician as suggested by the houzst guys.
While Emily had sent us the houzst helpline, I felt that on multiple occasions when we approached them they were caught unaware abt the facilities and problems in the house.
Lastly, the oven was not cleaned properly and it was difficult to use as there were left overs from the previous guest. The lockbox had gotten jammed and we were unable to put the keys back in it while leaving.
In the end though, the cons didn’t hinder or affect our experience that much in the apartment and if given the opportunity, we would love to be back in the same apartment!
