This is the first three-star rating I have given. This has nothing to do with the wonderful host - communication was excellent. It is the space. The bathroom is one of those that is always wet - the shower does not seal. The strange little shed inside the apartment does not block out any light, and its only purpose is to take up space and cause a tripping hazard every time you get into or out of the bed. The layout makes everything feel cramped. Very cramped. I know, it's central London. And, having lived in London, it still felt tight, certainly for the price. The iron was unusable (had crap on it), the clothes rack broken, lift did not work. Overall, it was fine, but I would look elsewhere and settle on this if in a pinch.
