    If you are choosing the smallest room in the property you should know that one of its walls is like a foldable shirm which means that you'll be able to hear EVERYTHING. Plus getting in and out of the room was a little annoying. Our neighbors were respectful, so it was an issue on this occasion. The ventilation in the bathroom looked minging and definitely needs a change of filter or smth.

    The place was clean, instructions for access were clear and straightforward

    Other guests weren't always considerate of others. It was good overall. One room was having a small party it didn't last long and they went out.

    Great space and facilities useful when needing a quick London pit stop.

    Possibly my mistake, however when I looked it appeared to be one whole apartment we were booking, however there are 3 different rooms within the apartment shared with other people. Luckily there was a bathroom within our room as I would not have liked sharing a bathroom with other random people. Additionally the curtain in the bedroom didn’t fully close so there was a whole window open for people to see in/light to come in. Additionally you collect your keys from an off license and the people in there were rude and hardly spoke! Was a very strange place to collect keys from

    The apartment was clean and the beds were very comfy. The location was good and the views were good.

    It was a beautiful, quiet, clean and tidy room in central London. The host was very aware of myself as a guest and helped me in any way possible with my staying. If I am back to Central London and it is free and I will be book this accomodation again. I recommend it.

    The air conditioning was really hot and we couldn’t turn it off (only the small one in the room). Although it is very nice to wake up and go to bed in a place so warm, please make the Earth a favour and keep the air conditioning a bit less hot :)

    The flat is really clean and the building is safe. It is not far away from bus and metro station. It is a good option for your stay in London.

    The shower was stuck with hot water only, despite setting it to the coldest setting.

    The flat was very well finished, with everything that I needed, and was spotless. The location was great, with good views of the canal. The host was very friendly, and responded to messages swiftly.

    Would have liked the tea/coffee etc to be left on show as I felt uncomfortable going through the cupboards to look for them. The lock on the door to my room didn’t feel very secure.

    Great communication from the owner. Excellent shower. The complimentary basket of nibbles was a nice touch.

    • Stayed 1 night

    MY ROOM WAS THE TV ROOM, NO LOCK ON DOOR/DIVIDER, ALSO A MINOR, DULL, CONTINUOUS DRONING SOUND COMING FROM THE AIRCOM IN MY (TV) ROOM. I WAS NOT EXPECTING THIS KIND OF ROOM, BUT IF I HAD STUDIED THE PHOTO IMAGES, I MAY HAVE WORKED IT OUT? I DID OVER HEAR ONE OF THE OTHER GUESTS SAY 'IS THAT ANOTHER ROOM FOR US TO CHECK OUT', PERHAPS A LARGE, CLEAR SIGN STATING THAT THE TV ROOM IS SOMEBODIES BEDROOM?

    LOCATION IS EXCELLENT. BIG TV IN MY ROOM, ALTHOUGH I DID NOT USE IT, I MAY HAVE FOUND THIS A USEFUL DISTRACTION.

    Very unclear about the bed situation. One of us had to sleep on the chair. Says there was one sofa bed and one futon. But no that's only if you pay for the higher priced one although it definitely mentions 2 seperate beds. Host was very unhelpful and cheeky as well. Key pick was in a very dodgy shop as well. The room only had a thin sliding door between us and the other people sharing the flat so could hear them every time they were in the kitchen.

    Location and bathroom.

    • Stayed 1 night

    The main problem here was the loud, continuous sound from the ventilation, making the environment uncomfortably noisy. This forced me to use noise-cancelling headphones, even at night, which was far from a perfect solution and unfortunately compromised my sleep quality significantly.

    The accommodations presented a mixed bag during my stay. While other rooms and the kitchen seemed well-maintained, the overall experience varied significantly. It felt like a hit and miss situation where consistency in quality and comfort was lacking.

    Wonderful place to stay. Great host, very helpful and responsive - no issues whatsoever. Rooms are clean and comfy. Shared space as well. Great location, easy to get to from any airport and railway station, very convenient to travel around London as well as underground stations are nearby and a bus stop just in front of the building. Key drop close by and also happens to be a quite well stocked shop 24/7 which is super convenient. I will be coming back and I recommend highly the place and the host.

    The terrible experience of finding yourself in a city you don't know, after having paid more than €500, without the owner responding for hours (for keys and instructions to enter the structure) overshadowed all the advantages that were there. We were two 20 year old girls with suitcases without knowing where to go because the owner didn't respond to messages or calls. We thought she had been a scam. After calling booking assistance very angry, the owner deigned to answer us

    The owner responded really fast and gave thorough introduction before we arrived. Compared to other alternative spaces in London, this flat is highly cost performing. And the location is at zone 1, even though it’s not in the center area, still very convenient. Highly recommended for visitors to London.
