One of the most Airbnbs I’ve stayed at in London, most definitely not like the pictures.
You pass by 4 rodent traps just to get to the front door, and I saw multiple cockroaches in the foyer area (dead and alive). Lots of spiders around too.
Musty and damp Airbnb, hasn’t been deep cleaned in a long time. Shower curtains are full of mould and smell disgusting when showering. Sofa and cushions feel dirty when you sit on them and they smell like stale sweat and urine.
Kitchen poorly stocked with mismatching utensils and nothing you need to easily cook. Coffee, tea and milk provided but they also look like they’ve been sitting there for years too.
Bed is tiny (a small double). OK for a single person (I am a 5ft 6 female) but would be a very uncomfortable sleep for two people.
All windows are locked and need a key so the only way to let in airflow is to open the front door.
Towels were crusty and felt like they had been used and washed thousands of times. No tea towels provided for dishes and the sponge in the sink was dirty and old.
When I first checked in, the bathroom light was broken and dangling from the ceiling. To management credit, they fixed it promptly when I alerted them of this.
Only thing good about this place is that it’s walking distance to Kings Cross and has convenient public transport. There are about 5 - 10 stairs to this apartment, but nothing I couldn’t lug my suitcases up. Not suitable for wheelchair access.
Overall this place is rundown, musty, dirty and damp and has lots of paint chipping from the walls. It needs some TLC, and I cry when I think about how much I paid per night to stay here. Wish I booked somewhere else.
