Pros:
- Location, steps away from Farringdon station and convenient store near the building.
- Security of apartment is great due to 24/7 porter and security guard downstairs.
- No issues with keys provided.
- Quick response from host and refund for first night as the room was not cleared when we arrived.
Cons:
Cleanliness of place can be improved.
- Bedsheets/ blankets were yellowish and smelly. Pilowcase had a weird smell, like someone that didnt shower used it before.
- Bin in the kitchen was not cleared daily, with flies coming out whenever it is opened.
- Was asked to put used utensils and dishes in the dishwasher. No cleaner came throughout the week to clear it. Had to wash it on our own.
- Boiling kettle is rusty, didnt dare to use.
- Pots and pans were in poor condition.
- Living room has a musky smell probably due to lack of ventilation.
- There is a wardrobe in the room but it was super messy, not usable. Hosts belongings were thrown inside.
- Bedroom ventilation was bad despite having an aircon unit. Can't imagine during summer. Windows can't be opened.
- Cleaning lady arrived before check-out time and was given bad attitude before we left at 12pm.
Overall, host tried to help with issues, but the cleaniless of the place fell short. Would not recommend unless host makes improvements.
