Okay, ready? Read carefully.
Host: Co-Host Carolina was such a sweetheart. She was responsive, polite and ready to help. I honestly enjoyed her kindness and I understand she did all she could. 🥰 thank you for hosting me!
Arriving:
Obtaining the keys was easy. Sweet and simple. Love it.
Notation:
This is not a handicap accessible Airbnb or even light on the knees. You will climb two flights of stairs, open the door and there will be another two flights of stairs to reach the flat.
The flat:
The kitchen counter has some marks but that’s aesthetics so it didn’t bother me. It has a kettle, an espresso maker, a working dishwasher, a beautiful fridge with freezer.
The sink will clog up if you run the water. The washer does not function but the co-host, Carolina stated she did order the piece. However, I left before it arrived.
The beds:
The queen bed is super comfortable. however, the couch is not what you see in the picture, instead it’s a black small children like sofa that you remove the cushions too and lay it on the floor since it does not recline into a bed. Be warned it’s half the size of an adult and yes it’s low to the ground (the couch). The TV is your basic tv, works well with cable but it is not what you see in the picture. The entire flat is different than what you see in the picture minus the bedroom. The little lights above the bed do not work at all.
The bathroom:
The bathtub is pretty dangerous hopping in. It’s really like two big steps up to reach it and you have to hold onto something. It needs a shower curtain or something because the floor will get wet.
Noise:
You will hear the Jubilee and Overground most nights. Be prepared for the sound of traffic. Nothing wrong with that but it can be difficult to become accustomed to.
Location:
Yes you can see Tesco behind you - and yes it’s open until midnight each day. There’s also a mall with a Burger King and a boots (pharmacy) and a pound land. Surrey Quays is the best station to arrive to. When you get to Heathrow set your GPS to Surrey Quays Station. Trust me, Surrey Quays the whole way.
Overall:
Great for a 3 night stay but not a whole week to two. 🥰
