This was not the usual friendly welcome with a host that i have experienced thru all my other stays thru abnb. We had to let ourselves into the apt via a keypad in the letter box to retrieve the keys to the apartment. It was difficult to see the small numbers ,to press and turn the dial and release the flap, as this was not at eye level and would not open for us. I rang the host and explained the situation and his response was off handed and curt. I was told 200 other people have let themselves in this way without a problem ,which i fail to see as when he dispatched his cleaner to help us,she also seemed to struggle with it. The apt was nice with a lovely view and handy to kings cross station which is only a few minutes away ,as the building backs onto kings cross area. The noise from outside the apartment was louder than expected and the curtain in the bedroom would not close properly letting in early morning light. The bed was comfortable and the heater in lounge area worked well. In the kitchen area there were what looked like baby cockroaches and i found one floating in my glass of water. The lift in the building is old, art deco era, with double doors that need to be pulled open. If you have mobility isues this could be a problem for you. There were plenty of eateries and bars around the area and a fabulous harris farm grocery store. If you have late afternoon flights as we did,this host will not hold bags.
