The Turnpike Residence - Free Parking

Struttura molto bella, fornita del necessario, comodi i letti, pulita, cinque minuti a piedi dalla metropolitana.

Purtroppo abbiamo avuto un paio di problemi, le chiavi che forzavano ad entrare nella serratura e il suono di allarme fumo, ogni 40 secondi per un giorno e mezzo (scarica la pila). L’host ci ha dato suggerimenti su come rimuovere il rumore, ma non ha funzionato e noi non ci sentivamo poi di smontare la plafoniera. Il punto è ….che non è mai venuto nessuno a risolvere i problemi perché a corto di personale, siamo stati abbandonati a noi stessi. Ma siamo sopravvissuti.

Location near to amenities and metro/buses starios. The place is clean and organized, its fully furnished and everything works very good, specially the heating system. Holst was always available.

Easy walk to the Turnpike Lane tube station (0.4 mi). Surprisingly quiet street, generally speaking. Plenty of consumable amenities available (toilet paper, shampoo, body wash, dish soap, coffee pods, laundry detergent). Windows open for letting in cooler air overnight. Two oscillating floor fans. Generous space for a family of 4 to spread out.

There are a few items future guests should be aware of. (1) THIS UNIT DOES NOT HAVE AIR CONDITIONING (it is listed in the amenities at the time of this writing, and it was listed in the amenities at the time I booked). Thankfully, we didn't require it during our stay, but for those with the bad luck of visiting during a heat wave, you will be sorely disappointed. (2) After my reservation passed the date for free cancellations/refunds, the host sent a mandatory pre-check-in link that sent me to a site outside of Booking, which isn't typical for Booking reservations. The check in process wasn't too bad until it got to a part that required me to either provide a credit card # for a security deposit of approximately £150 -OR- provide a nonrefundable £20 "waiver"--this was not disclosed on the Booking description, and it felt like a "gotcha" fee. As I didn't seem to have an option, and it was mere days prior to my arrival, I opted to pay the £20 "waiver" but I wasn't happy about it. (3) The smoke detector was disabled, and the carbon monoxide detector was not in working order. (4) The kitchen floor tiles are catastrophically broken and cracked, and you must be extremely careful where you walk, as some of them would tilt up when stepped on, risking painful pinches to bare feet. I did send a private message about all of the above concerns (except for my objections to the surprise fee) immediately after our stay, but the only response I received was a bot reply asking me about my stay.
