If you don‘t want to risk ruining your holiday you better avoid this guy. Here is the story.
We tried to get the information about the accomodation (pre-reservation information, transport to the place, etc.) from Nicolas for almost two months before the trip and the only information we received five days before our departure was this:
"[…]Nidia my cleaner can only go from 2 til 5 ..si i have to arrange for her to clean That day and leave you keys in Indian shop around The córner"
After our arrival to London, Nicolas wasn‘t answering our phonecalls and there were neither indian shop nor any other shop with the keys for us "around the corner" (we tried to ask in several shops nearby). So we ended around 22:00 pm on Saturday night without any place to sleep.
He started to communicate with us after we cancelled the reservation (he didn‘t get the money from airbnb). After two days, we managed to move to Nicolas´s place (meanwhile, we had to find another hotel to stay for two nights). In the end, the keys to the apartment had his cleaning lady. Furthermore, the apartment was not cleaned from the previous tenant, which means that Nicolas really didn‘t prepare the apartment for our visit at all.
Moreover, you can realize how difficult was the communication with no stable wi-fi connection in the streets of London.
Location is good, the apartment was unclean.
