This flat is a good value in that you couldn't get a hotel room in this area for this price. That said, it was a bit run down and inconvenient for us as senior citizens. The benches under the table were not too wobbly to sit on because the bolts had not been tightened for some time. The ladder to the lobby was steep and my 72 year old husband could not make it up there with confidence. The loft has a low ceiling so you have to crouch once you are up there. The apartment has nice light but anyone on the sidewalk can look in at you and your stuff. So we ran out to the stationary store and bought tissue paper and tape to create some makeshift curtains. When the hard shutters were closed it felt like a cave. It was only occasionally noisy and with a good pair of earplugs it was tolerable. We enjoyed the neighborhood and the weekly market and the wonderful Japanese restaurant on the corner. And we walked everywhere: to the museums and through Kensington Gardens. The location was so convenient. Groceries were easy to find but the washer and dryer were not. They are shared by all the AirBnBs in the house and it was hard to find a time when they were not busy. The bathroom and kitchen appliances and fixtures were decent and clean but the fake orchid on the bureau was really filthy and disgusting. This flat needs just a little bit of love and care to make it the gem that it could be.
