Great location

Excellent location. Quiet yet close to the city and easy to get in and out. 10 min walk to two tube stations on the District and Picadilly lines and a Tesco supermarket (and Express even closer). A great pub around the corner. You can walk to a couple parks. The kitchen was small and limited so don't plan on making elaborate meals, and the place could use a deep clean, but it worked very well for my family's needs in London. Good communication from the owner.

Heerlijke plek maar niet schoon

Fijne behulpzame huiseigenaar. Het opklapbed was kapot en hij heeft direct een nieuwe gebracht. Huis was helaas echt heel vies, keuken, badkamer, enz. De bedden sliepen lekker en de buurt is prettig en centraal

Spacious, Safe Property but Disappointingly Dirty

This property could do with a proper clean. Despite being charged for cleaning in our bill we had to clean the toilet, floor around the toilet and all of the kitchen utensils before using as all were disgusting. We also had to change the main bedroom duvet cover as it definitely had been used. I had asked to add two days either end which I was assured would be fine even though our booking was not changed until after a lot of effort I managed to contact HomeAway to ask the owner to change it. It was never actually changed, on the system. (We were charged for the extra day we had though) Communication was difficult with owner leading us to have to move to another property at the end of our stay (with our daughters broken ankle, so not an easy task) due to a last minute let down of the extra last days booking. The flat itself is nice and roomy for London (kitchen is tiny,) but on the whole it is really dirty and in need of attention in the bathroom and kitchen particularly. It would be a lovely flat if it was deep cleaned.

Disgusting Flat

Where to start.. My family & i stayed in the flat between 15-19th June 2019, the flat was beyond being disgusting!! The bathroom had mould through out the shower, dust all over the toilet. The bathroom window was BLACK with mildew (on the inside), shower was clogged up, ceiling was black... the floors were dirty as our socks were black so we had to keep our shoes on. There was a smoke alarm what was not connected, a nail sticking out of the skirting board, nails sticking up on the floor (again had to wear shoes due to this especially the little kids!), the kitchen was beyond gross - there was a dirty dishcloth with a HAIR on it!!! The oven hadn't been cleaned as it had scraps in it. The bin was broken. The flat was originally advertised to have a microwave but there wasn't one. We had to eat out every night for 2 reasons.. to get out of the place & we did not want to cook in that dirty oven. There was scraps of foods throughout the kitchen. My father had to go for a walk just to get away from the dirty place. Definitely would not recommend this place. There should be a law against letting a place out in this state. We were charged a 30 pounds cleaning fee.. FOR WHAT???? We tried to contact him in regards to the complaint but by the sounds of it from other reviews, he does not like to get back in touch with you.

An OK place

The stay was comfortable and Connor was nice and friendly. It was easy getting around and we enjoyed our visit. The only down side was really squeaky floors and it would have been nice to have towels that were not so well used. The kitchen too could use abit of work and the place was dusty

Fundamentally An Apartment Needs To Be Clean

I do have to agree with the other reviews about the lack of cleanliness inside this rental. Upon our arrival, we noticed a clump of hair already accumulated in the shower drain from the previous renters. I had to use Q-tips to help untangle the nasty wet hair out of the drain. I know, its pretty gross. By the way, the shower never drained efficiently, so during every shower we ended up standing in a pool of bath water. Then when we pulled back the sheets to settle in bed, in two beds we noticed there were some stains on the sheets. I know, gross again. We ended up taking those sheets off the beds and fitting other sheets that we found in a closet (we aren't even sure those were 100% clean). I quickly tried to get in touch with the host to see if he could get someone to come clean again because at this point, I just wanted to make the best of it with another cleaning. My request to the host was ignored and I received no response. That was very disappointing. There are things to like about this rental. The outside of the property was very nice, was in a nice neighborhood, had a smooth check-in process, the location worked for us, and we had enough beds to accommodate 5 (although most people would probably have an issue with the comfort of the sofa bed). With all that being said, it is essential for a traveler to feel they are staying in a clean property and to be able to communicate to the host when there is an issue. I was left very disappointed. I do hope future guests have a better experience.

Nice from the outside but needs attention inside

The location is great and from the outside it looks very nice and tidy. However, once inside the property, it was a different story. The cleanliness of the property could be better, not least in the bathroom and kitchen. The linen and towels provided looked like they had been taken straight off the drying rack and thrown into a pile. So, despite a great location I think the owner has to do better in terms of cleaning the property between visitors and at least make an attempt to provide linen that are not creased. In a nutshell, be cleaner and tidier.

Could be better

It seemed the property is run in a very hands off way. We were unimpressed with the overall cleanliness. The kitchen was cluttered with older foodstuff. It may have been good,who knows? The floors creaked and popped with every step you took. Towels and linens were in short supply. With a good cleaning and some attention to detail it could be made a nicer place.

Quiet clean flat

We rented this space for Christmas 2018. Connor met us there to let us in and show us around after an extremely long flight. He showed us the place then was kind enough to walk us to a local pub for dinner. This flat is centrally located to everything. Close enough to walk to the grocery store to buy necessities and keep our place stocked up for the week. I even prepared two meals for the family including Christmas dinner. I would definitely stay here again if I return to England. It was super close to the Barons Court underground and bus stops. Made it extremely easy for us to travel to the attractions.

Beautiful property on a very quiet street. It was gated and we felt very safe.

My sister and I had a wonderful experience. The beds were soft and comfortable and the bedrooms were good size. There were bus, train and subway lines all within comfortable walking distance as well as a Tesco where we bought groceries during our stay. The complex and the street are beautiful. Connor was very kind and an amazing host. He gave us all the information we needed and let us call him if we needed anything. I would definitely stay there again when I visit London!
