I have a cosy place, one bedroom flat, in a building with 24hrs concierge, itâs not a luxury flat but it has the perfect location, all you need for a pleasant stay, clean place,fully fitted kitchen with cooking utensils, living room with a sofa a single bed, bedroom with a double bed, fits 3/4 people, dinning and coffee table and wireless internet.
The host was really nice and welcoming, they met us outside to give us the keys and show us how to access the building. Also had good communication throughout, couldnât ask for any better than that, thank you! The flat itself was in a very good location, was spacious, and looked like the photos. However, we had some safety concerns throughout our stay-1. There were signs around the building to tell residents that subletting is not accepted. We were also told on arrival to not ask the concierge any questions, as they are not interested.2. The entrance door letterbox could completely open if you put your hand through (with just light touch), and is likely large enough for someone to grab nearby items/undo a lock. 3. The cleanliness was questionable. Whilst the flat was good value, many items in the kitchen had dried food on etc. there was also a broken window. Overall, for a short trip, what we paid was cheap. Itâs hard to argue this for the location and space we had. However, I would expect the flat to be cleaned properly prior to arrival :(
The property was exactly as described and has a very central location. The host responded quickly to any queries. I would definitely recommend this property and I would stay there again if I return to London.
This is an ok place to stay - one block from a main street with shopping and food. The awkward part is a door fob that isn't working, so the concierge has to let you in and there are obvious signs stating that short term rentals are not allowed. I felt like we were going to get into trouble and kicked out at any moment.
This property would have been a great stay if it werenât for one major issue. The key fob which was provided for us to access the building DID NOT WORK. When we mentioned it to the concierge, we were informed that the fob was not correct for the building. I attempted to reach out to the host to correct the problem but I was ignored entirely. There were multiple times where I was stuck outside on the street with my infant and child until someone could let me in. The host provided zero help or assistance in this matter. There are signs posted all over the lobby indicating that short term rentals are NOT ALLOWED at the property. I would assume this is why the fob does not work. The signage also indicates that all property owners are aware that short term rentals are not allowed.Aside from this stress, the flat is as described. The washer was helpful and the AC was nice. BE WARNED the tub gets insanely hot. Just a slight bump of the nozzle would instantly go to 130 degrees F (we luckily had a thermometer for our baby to test the water). Be so SO careful- that is a serious injury/scalding just waiting to happen.
First VRVO are forbidden in the building so or key fob never work and the security guard told us that they blocked our keys. 2 The window on the bathroom is super old and they don't close. It is open all the time and it's freezing there. Alot of wind is commingfrom the window. No Shower curtains So every time we take a shower, the bathroom is a mess water everywhere. And they leave us only 2 towels for a family of 4 for a whole week. So I had to buy my own towels. The window curtains are super small and light. So at 4.30 in the morning his daylight, so you can't sleep well. Not storage place at all. The clothes had to be in the floor cause it's no place to put it. The blow dryer not working. Really old sheets, bad smelling dirty amd old.
Etc, Etc. No recomendable at all.

Not the greatest
The location was decent and weâd probably have been ok with the flat, but the wifi never worked, and the unit was billed as an ACâd flat. There was an AC machine on premises, but it looked like it was from 1066 AD, and its exhaust vent was completely disintegrated, meaning it created massive heat into the room and zero cooling. We couldnât even use it as a fan because of the heat. There was no attempt to help with this or the wifi, which we were never able to connect to, and likely isnât being paid for.
Not a big deal for me, but my wife wasnât thrilled that the hairdryer was broken.
The last thing to mention was that we were approached twice by different porters for the building who told us the units arenât meant to be sublet via Vrboâs or other third parties in the first place per building policy.
Thankfully he didnât throw us out, but it made for an uneasy feeling.
Nonetheless, our time in London was exhaustingly wonderful!
No ha sido muy buena experiencia el alojamiento. La limpieza no era buena, no habia wifi, ducha embozada, en el salon todas luces fundidas , toallas olian a tabaco. No teniamos llave de la entrada de la calle.
Lo unico bueno la situacion

3 day stay
Good location. The property was a little hard to find. There was no A/C unit (only small unit in bedroom that is old and loud), it was hot in there. No towels.
The apartment is small and the furniture is obviously well used, but for the purpose itâs intended: a place to sleep at and get ready at to explore the city, it does exactly what it needs to. The host responds to questions instantly no matter the time of day. One downside was that the heating got turned on and canât be turned off, but windows and airco fixed that. All in all, does what it has to. My aunt and I enjoyed our stay and were happy with the location - close to Edgeware Road station and therefore a short tube-ride away from exploring the city center.
