Hi All aspiring future occupants
It is with extreme regret and pain that I write this report for your serious consideration regarding the appalling condition and misrepresentation of the AirBnb property of what was claimed as a sleek Gem ( misleading and nothing close to that adjective). This is to caution the future aspiring occupants not to be upset after checking the reality.
Firstly, the property outside was filthy with foul smell with overflowing garbage of various flats creating a very serious health hazards. No efforts were taken to maintain and checking the cleanliness worse than an impoverished state in the middle of London.
Secondly, both the front doors were always open so anyone can access the stairs at anytime and knock on the flat doors. This is a serious issue for safety and security. It is a totally rundown entry pathetic state of this property to note and not a “Gem” as claimed.
Thirdly never once it was noted in AirBnB that the unit is on the third floor with narrow steps making climbing a hard task with baggage. If you are suffering from mild knee issue it will become worse with arthritis.
I am sad to say that this unit is for “ Stuart Little” if you have seen the movie and the bedroom ( I would not call it a bedroom) had to be crawled in with no space to keep any bags and we bumped the heads several times getting up and a real danger of injuring the head. It was never mentioned the ceiling height is suited for 3 to 4 feet tall persons for both the bedroom and the toilet. We could not wash face and lift the head only to bump the head on the slant ceiling.
Fourthly this bathroom is totally useless and narrow and unuseable with no space to keep toiletries and the shower area is so small, one can not wash a cat in that space. I am shocked how this property was even advertised to 5 people where it can not take even two with so cramped space.
I cancelled my stay from 10 days to 5 having had to pay for a hotel for my stay for one night and spent additional 250 Pounds. This is gut wrenching to waste that large amount as the Airbnb property was failing in all fronts of cleanliness, health hazards, too cramped with height restricted ceilings and unliveable.
The only solace was my remaining stay unspent in the property was refunded by AirBnb after a week.
Be cautioned and Do not fall into this crappy place unless you are less than 4 ft in height.
Thanks
Regards
