  : Got bitten all over by some kind of mites or bed bugs. Appt seemed clean so I suspect it was the mattress. Seen previous reviewers have also had same problem

Very Good

  : Genuinely, the only good things about this accommodation were its proximity to tube stations and Kensington Park, and the fact that there were washers and dryers (but they were difficult to get to and detergent was not supplied)
  : Where do I begin! The property was FAR from what was advertised. Firstly, it seems from previous reviewers that the property had been in a state of 'renovation' for quite some time - the stoop was being repainted so there was slippery plastic on the steps outside, carpet had been ripped out from the stairs/corridors, common areas weren't looked after and were dusty and littered with little bits of rubbish. A pile of neglected, misdelivered letters and Amazon packages cluttered the foyer and first landing. There is no reception area, it's contactless entry. There were, however, curious characters loitering outside and inside the building, obviously perplexed to see us. There were security cameras on every floor and somehow, this didn't make us feel safer. When we did finally ascend the three sets of stairs with our suitcases - the last of which was narrow, dark, and dirty - we found the door to our studio. The lock handle had been replaced so poorly that air whistled through the gap between the lock and the wood of the door. It was impossible to close the door without slamming it. Inside, it smelled overwhelmingly musty, so much so we had to leave our window open for the majority of the time during our stay. Thankfully the heater worked - the same can't be said of the TV or the safe. The wallpaper was damaged, one of the light fixtures was broken, the bathroom sink was missing a plug or at least a grate and the shower! The shower head let out more water through gaps in its hose and seams than it did from its holes, and the pressure was so low it was barely a drizzle. Despite this, we immediately noticed the shower drain was clogged and it took numerous messages to the owner and finally Booking.com to get a meek gentleman to come and pour some drain cleaner in. We only ever encountered one other guest during our stay, a young woman, who seemed terrified to be there.

  : Very good location. Close to the metro, buses, restaurants and convenience stores.Comfortable bed.
  : When we got to the apartment it was not cleaned well. There was someone else's hair everywhere and dirt on the floor.The shower doesn't work properly.Bad window insulation from outside light, from sunrise there is no way to avoid the light inside the room. There's tape on the walls.
