Pros:
- Good location, near several bus and tube stops that we used frequently.
- Digital key works very well
- Bathroom is a bit bigger than others I’ve seen in UK rentals, but the toilet seat does slide off the bowl depending on how you sit.
Cons:
- Airbnb is much smaller and darker than it appears online. The pictures use a smaller ladder up to the loft. The actual ladder takes up much more room and the furniture is quite small. The couch can fit one person. The loft ceilings are quite low, which actually wasn’t an issue for us (we’re both 5’9” and we’re able to crouch fine to get back and forth from the ladder). If you’re taller though, this will probably be a problem for you. If you’re literally just sleeping in the Airbnb and going to be out all day until bed time, this spot will work for your needs.
- The walls and ceiling are EXTREMELY thin. Would not recommend if you don’t want to potentially hear your neighbors talking, walking about, and having sex in their unit while you try to sleep. It made for a really unpleasant experience at night and I would not have booked had I known how thin the walls were and how much noise disturbance there would be. In an already small flat, it made me feel claustrophobic and uncomfortable.
- The bed frame in the loft is very loud, so if you and/or anybody you’re traveling with moves in their sleep, you WILL hear it and it will likely wake you up. You will also hear the bed frame in the units next to and above you.
Overall, this unit served a purpose for our 3 nights in London, but I would not book again.
