Management was very easy to communicate with and answered my questions quickly. We were even brought an AC unit to use in the heat wave. It was super convenient having a mini grocery store just outside the front door. Overall, this spot ticked all my boxes!
We booked this fairly last minute for an event the next day at Olympia, and it was perfect. 2 minute walk from the train station and handy location above two shops where we were able to get forgotten items such as toothbrushes. Apartment was a perfect size for us as a family of four, clean and everything we needed. Only down side was people in neighbouring apartments slamming their doors repeatedly up until 10pm which wasn’t ideal before an early start but certainly didn’t ruin our stay. Would stay again!
We were arriving earlier than check-in and needed someplace for our bags. Our room was being cleaned when we arrived and we were allowed to leave our bags in the room and were given the key. When we returned for the night, the room was clean and comfortable. Highly recommended.

Excellent host , very clean apt and felt safe around the area
Wife and I were visiting from the states for the London Book Fair, and this place was perfect for us. It was a two minute walk to the venue. It was clean and well equipped. Location is about a two minute walk away from the public train station (the Tube), and there are tons and tons of pubs and restaurants all within a twenty minute walk away or even ten minutes depending on what you’re wanting.
The host was great about communication and took care of the minor issue we had of the tv not working the very next day.

The kitchen was tiny and lacked a tea towel, paper towels, and much of the dishware was chipped. The fridge was in the living room which we know happens, but the room was laid out very poorly to enable access. An ice cube tray would have been nice during the heat wave also. The air conditioner that was provided was appreciated although very inefficient because the window was left wide open around it. The windows close under their own weight and there were no blocks or anything provided to prop them open. The floors are very slick with any humidity or socks on and the steps are awkward into the flat so we had multiple stumbles in and out. Overall the staff were friendly, and it was completely adequate for our needs as a family visiting London. The bedding and towels were all very clean and we mostly enjoyed it as a home base. We would just recommend awareness for others/hope the hosts might double check the things we suggested.

Very welcoming apartment, warm and thank you for the opportunity.
Apart from a stained mattress cover near the feet and burnt iron spot in bedroom on carpet.
A Hot water signage to be stuck next to taps, water too hot.
All went well, a very comfy home.
Thank you.

The place is infested with bed bugs. We travelled back home with our entire body itching. We had to see our doctor for treatment when we arrived. This was the most horrible experience we had during our travel. The stress we went through was insane as we had to take every precaution to make sure those bugs didn’t get to our home.

Apartment doesn’t look as nice as the pictures. Place was clean and good space. Run down on outside and corridor. Pls be aware that apartment has one portable aircon and not central. I had asked before I booked about a/c and was never told they meant a portable unit. When I requested a portable fan for the bedroom as it was really hot, I was told they would bring one the next day as it was late when I arrived. But the fan never came even when I asked again. I also asked for more shower gel a night before but that too was never replenished the next night. I had to go down to the 24hr store to buy. Customer service is poor and slow

The room was clean and check-in, was easy. However, for me the water almost flooding the shower tray, was not what I needed after not being able to sleep due to the emergency lighting. I’m used to a dark room and the green lights that shines bright when the lights are off caused me to have a very disturbed sleep. Even when attempting to sleep under the covers, but I struggle with my face being covered and that this made it worse.
This accommodation was awful. Would not recommend. Mould on walls, insecure windows, damaged items, not clean, stains in furniture, hosts super unhelpful, broken wires, rubbish lying across front door, not very welcoming, not really a ‘hotel’ it felt like someones flat. Did not even stay, we left after 4 hours and booked elsewhere as we didn’t feel safe staying at this property. Unwilling to rectify any issues, and took 4 hours to supply a travel cot that we requested months in advance. Take this review how you want but I don’t even feel this is appropriate to be listed as accommodation
