The good:
The apartment was overall very nice.
Location was great (cafes, pubs, takeaways and restaurants all around it, Holborn underground station 8mins walk). We really enjoying sitting at the balcony for a chat after coming "home" with my colleagues after our work events.
A previous review mentioned that it was weird to look down at the police station's smoking area but we enjoyed the people-watching!
The welcome pack (your choice of fruit, chocolate, crisps etc) was a very nice touch.
The beds were as expected: not amazing, not uncomfortable, but average.
Two of the rooms don't have wardrobes in them. We were only there for 2 nights so it wasn't a big deal. For anyone traveling for longer who needs to unpack, the hallway is lined with 3-4 wardrobes, so that should help.
The apartment we stayed at was on the 3rd floor and there's no lift. Again, it didn't bother us as all of us were used to imbing stairs, and we all travelled very light.
The not so great:
There was quite a bit of dust in the sitting room. When we went to check out the rest of the apartment, I discovered serious skidmarks in the toilet.
Also, the (white) grout in the side of the shower nearest the showerhead was yellow with soapscum, and there was a bit of mold on the silicon around the bathtub, and more of that on the underside of the bathtub ledge.
Above average wear and tear around the apartment, which made it look a bit depressing in certain areas. Could do with some new rugs, sheets, towels, and a lick of paint.
Communication got overwhelming as I'd receive messages for different things across different media: SMS, Airbnb, What-s-App (spelling it like this as the review form doesn't accept the proper name of the app), and email. Found it irritating and, at times, stressful.
Overall:
Would I stay again? 100%
