Gorgeous Holiday Home 5 minutes from Central London

Nice and cosy and clean property

Nothing

The flat is nicely decorated and well furnished. The host was polite, gave us useful information, and responded quickly to our messages. The location is also convenient for getting around the city.

The apartment is in a basement with almost no natural light, and it was quite noisy — we could hear sounds from the street and from upstairs, even as early as 4 a.m. on Saturday. Bed not very confortable. There was a strong smell of damp and some visible mould in the bathroom, which probably comes from the humidity in the basement. The bathroom window doesn’t close properly, so it was quite cold inside. The place looks clean at first, but not when you look closely — especially in the corners. It also felt a bit uncomfortable that the host seemed to know exactly when we entered the flat and kept messaging us frequently to check things. While he was kind and helpful, the constant contact made us feel a bit watched, and at the end he even asked for a 10/10 rating, which felt awkward.

Bus station is close

There were three of us, but the sleeping facilities were for two.
