The flat is in a very good location just behind Surbiton station. Close proximity to shops.
This is where the nice things about it end.
The checkin was delayed with 2.5 hrs due to the cleaner being ill. The new cleaner who was a nice guy left us with a drying rack of wet bedding and a washing machine full of wet laundry. It felt we had to work for our stay.
The flat is tiny. There is so much stuff everywhere; boxes in the living room, random diver helmet, boxes behind the sofa. All cupboards are full of stuff - building materials, random objects so no place to leave a suitcase. Most of the kitchen drawers are also full of junk.
The living room is painted dark green which makes is it super dark. This matches the listing’s photos but didn’t expect to be so dark. I have no idea why would someone paint a living room so dark. The Edison light bulbs don’t help either.
The bathroom smells of mould. The shower drain runs very slowly, almost blocked, so when taking a shower have to stop the water every 30sec otherwise overflows. We messaged the host and were told to buy drain unblocker but it didn’t work.
The bedroom has a new bed and a new wardrobe but stained carpet and marks on the wall.
The whole flat just doesn’t feel clean.
It feels a bit “have a go Joe” situation.
I wouldn’t stay there again. Just not worth the money.
