I was offered one bedroom apartment in the ground floor for £80 per night (nightmare). Read carefully before you book here:
Cons
- The heating keeps turning on and off all day (during Feb) and it’s particularly off at night time when needed most. Just today, my little son woke up coughing a lot from the cold, extremely disappointing! On my last night, the heaters were totally switched off. The handyman visited the apartment twice with no results, it’s frankly some one switches the boiler off from the source. I’ve reported this to Laura in several occasions.
- Warm (not hot) water is available but water pressure in the shower is extremely low. shower (no bath tub) literally fits one person.
- I found pieces of glass every where in the apartment and my little son had a cut on his right foot from it (photos were sent to Laura). Woman’s hairs are every where, on bed, sofa, etc... The apartment wasn’t not cleaned prior our visit.
- the apartment size is very much small for family that is bigger than 2 people (me and my 3 year old son)
- people are running a marathon upstairs and it was hard to explain it to a three year old boy asking what that was!
- watch out your arms when you wear your coat, you’ll defo touch the ceiling; it’s that low!!
- make sure you wash plates and cutleries before use - very dirty.
- no table to eat your food.. most probably you’ll end up eating on your bed!
- good luck with many attempts to shut the main door, it’s poorly fitted.
- Defo not worth of £85 a night, at all!!! on a scale of ten, 2 out of 10; and i’m being generous.
Pros
- The property location is very convenient
- good neighborhood
- smart tv - for YouTubers (was convenient to play nursery rhymes to my son)
- broadband is available at all time - wow!!
- there’s hairdryer - in case you felt cold in the ice cave.
- Kitchen is fully equipped
- washing machine with built-in dryer
- besides the marathon upstairs, it’s a quiet neighborhood.
Finally, i’ve imparted the same feedback to Airb&b to make sure no one else falls into the same trap. Simply, it’s disgusting/ revolting!! and shame on Airb&b to list such a poor property with this price on your portfolio.
I’ve taken videos and photos as an evidence
