2BR balcony, Battersea, 5min Clapham Junction St

The location handy to the train station

Proximity to the station was excellent. Very clean.

It would have been nice to have extra mugs. 1 of the mugs was chipped. Balcony glass cracked.

Les transports à proximité, commerces et le calme. Belle vue.

Rien. Quelques ustensiles de cuisine supplémentaires auraient aidé (louche, plat à gratin)

The location is fantastic, just off the busy Clapham Junction, on a quite (albeit slightly spooky) street around the corner. Many buses and trains at your doorstep. The views over the local area are quite nice. Nothing extraordinary, but plenty of natural light and The check-in instructions sent by the host were fabulous, very clear and detailed. The host kindly allowed as to check-in couple hours earlier than allowed. Overall it was an ok experience

Don't get your spirits too high. First of all the apartment is only suitable for 4 people, not for 5 as advertised. The fold out sofa in the kitchen is not an option for more than one day. Secondly, the photos are kinda accurate but you have to age everything you see by 5-10 years. It's not as sparkling and cozy as it seems on the photos. Everything looks tired and unloved, like you are visiting an old aunt that stopped caring and started hoarding things. Yes, there are tons of things that are just unnecessary, or belong to the owner who doesn't bother to move them away. We had a sack of coal in the kitchen (!), multiple food items / leftovers from the previous guests, random furniture objects etc. Yet, there were no dishwasher tablets or washing powder - not for one day, we had to bul but it and leave it for the future guests. The bathroom handle was broken outright (there were multiple holes i.e. many attempts to fix it), one of the down lights malfunctioned and the bathroom cabinet was barely breathing, with signs of mould over the place. All that gives you an impression of a shared dormitory bathroom. The side of the bathtub you have to step over was unusually high, with no stepstool provided to reduce the risk of falling. Look, overall it could be fine, if not for the lack of care for the apartment, inflated expectations and fairly high price. We still enjoyed our visit to London, but if we had known the reality of the apartment, we would certainly choose something else.
