For check-in, the host asked my wh*tsapp number, and sent me a video of how to find the keys. Initially I was hesitant to share my number and go off AirBnB, but everything was just fine and the video was helpful to find the keys.
Check-in was easy otherwise and it was easy to find the keys. It was a little awkward when someone eating a sandwich on the steps showed us where the keys were hidden, but I figured, now that we have the keys, it doesn't matter than they knew.
By brother and I stayed here. The place itself is a very compact London apartment - small kitchen, small bathroom, slightly weird hallway to a bedroom and then a decently spacious living room. It was a bit cramped but I've been in tighter apartments in Europe, so no problems.
The WiFi was good and we had no problems working remotely around the living room table.
There is no AC but it wasn't necessary for our fall trip. There was a fan and a space heater.
The used the laundry. The washer worked great, the dryer worked decently well if slowly if you use it right. The trick is to dry a small load. Have the unit only 1/3 full of stuff especially for drying (the house manual explains this too). However much you washed, split it into two or three or even four sets. Drying takes 2+ hours per load, so if you're in a big rush, only laundry the essentials.
The bathroom is fine, the shower door is a little leaky so we had to put one towel on the ground. I would suggest to the host to provide a bath mat.
The location is decent. There's a Tesco Express just down the street so easy to find a few groceries. There's no coffee machine but there is a kettle, so we made instant coffee in the mornings. It's a 7 minute walk to a good tube station. It's a quiet if somewhat bland neighborhood.
All in all, I am happy with staying here. Thank you for hosting us!
