tl;dr: this place is solid in a lot of ways and we enjoyed our stay, but we (family of 4) likely would not stay here again, because of our experiences with the bathroom and sleeping arrangements.
Pros:
+ Kitchen is nice. We didn't use it much but it has an electric stove, cups/utensils, and a washing machine. There was also tea and sugar available.
+ Living room is spacious. Our family hung out here whenever we were at the apartment.
+ Bedroom is spacious and the queen bed is comfortable.
+ Bathroom is spacious. Large tub. We were also provided hand soap and bath towels.
+ The rail is less than a 3 min walk from the apartment. From there, it's a convenient one stop away from the London Bridge station.
+ The apartment overall was clean and comfortable
Cons:
+ The bathroom sink has separate hot and cold faucets so we couldn't adjust the water temperature easily. The hot water often ran really hot so it just couldn't be used alone. The kitchen sink has a single faucet and can be a workaround to this issue.
+ My sister and I found the futons not very comfortable. The width is similar to a full sized bed but the legth is shorter. I'm 6 ft (about 183 cm) and my feet were hanging off the end. It doesn't lie completely flat like other futons might. There's an annoying crease betwen the two parts of the couch. They're more firm than our liking. The firmness might be a positive for some.
+ The station nearby, South Bermondsey, is a rail station which doesn't run as frequently as the regular tube. It was more difficult for us to get to and from the apartment via South Bermondsey in the evenings due to this. Fortunately, there is another tube station 15 minutes walking from the apartment, as well as a few bus stops close by.
+ Flushing the toilet was a chore. It's a little bit older so it took a decent amount of effort to engage the flush properly.
+ As many others have mentioned, the bathtub does not include a standing shower. The handle is low so you can only really bathe sitting/lying. There's also no curtain. We had a few issues with adjusting the water temperature—the hot water reaches near scalding temperatures
+ WiFi is pretty spotty. We often had trouble looking up info on our phones. It seemed to make no difference whether one of us used the WiFi or all of us used it.
We didn't use the cot so we can't speak to that. The stairwell had an old vintage smell to it, but the apartment smelled fine.
