Too expensive for what you get
The location was quite central and it was close to a train station. The neighborhood felt safe with a handful of food options for lunch and dinner. The double doors to get through were also helpful in feeling safe.
The bathroom utilization and cleanliness overall were probably our biggest barriers to having a comfortable stay. When getting there, there were cobwebs in many of the corners/walls of the apartment. Not to mention there were spiders and moths in almost every room. The carpet in the living room as well as one of the duvets appeared unwashed as there were some stains on them.
In the bathroom, the shower was not functional. We experienced burning water on the first day while the remaining days had extremely cold water with no way of fixing the temperature. While the host was pretty responsive to the matter, there was no way it was able to be fixed unless we waited around for the property manager to get a plumber in. Since we were on vacation this was not in the question therefore, we ended up moving to a different place to stay for the remainder of our stay. With elderly family members and paying quite a bit for this accommodation, we felt it was unfair to continue to stay in a place that was not fully clean or be equipped with working hot water and cleanliness throughout. By the end of our shortened stay, our host did not respond to any of our messages.

The combination of shower problems, the cleanliness, and safety hazards negatively impacted our stay
The location, the neighborhood, and the neighbor were nice. The layout of the apartment was nice: one bedroom, a living room, a kitchen, one bathroom, and an entry space. Enough space for luggage and 5 people. The layout was nice.
Our stay was disappointing due to serious cleanliness, maintenance, comfort, and safety issues. Key pick up location too far from the apartment. Plus, the apartment very hard to find. Very inconvienent the first time arrival. Feels unsafe at night. Good 10+ minute walk from the Tube.
Maintenance: The shower was unusable because it only produced hot water with no cold water, creating a burn risk, especially for children. As a result, we couldn't use the shower at all. Instead, we had to squat in the bathtub and bathe by filling a cup from the bathtub faucet—which had both hot and cold water—and pouring it over ourselves one cup at a time. This was inconvenient, time-consuming, and unsafe. Then one day, the tub stopped draining. We had to borrow the plunger from a neighbor. So groose.
Safety: The high bathtub height made it unsafe to get in and out of the tub. No grab bar, creating a slipping hazard. Additionally, the damaged furniture raised concerns that I might fall and injured myself because the dinning chairs are missing screws. The coffee table tray fell off it's legs.
Comfort: Both beds squeaked loudly with any movement, making it difficult to sleep. One mattress was extremely firm and the other was overly soft. The sofa bed bedding was not clean—the mattress pad and comforter were stained, and the comforter had no duvet cover. There was only one small fan in a hot apartment. We couldn't open the windows due to the flies. TOO many bugs. The apartment was very dusty, with spider webs, spiders, and flies throughout. The dust triggered our allergies. The shower had visible mildew, soap scum, and stains, and developed an unpleasant odor. The bathroom vanity and mirror layout were poorly designed, and the toilet was so cramped we had to sit at an angle.

Logement ancien, mais très calme, bien équipé et proche des commerces, des transports et du centre
la résidence est très calme et bien située, à proximité du centre-ville. Le logement dispose de tout le nécessaire pour cuisiner et pour le quotidien : plaques de cuisson, four, micro-ondes, lave-linge et lave-vaisselle. Un petit supermarché ainsi que plusieurs restaurants se trouvent également à proximité. Un bon lit (l'autre moyen)
Matelas d’un des lits de 140 cm assez moyen, avec ressorts perceptibles, mais convenable pour des enfants. Deux chaises et table basse légèrement branlantes. Clé à récupérer dans une épicerie ouverte 24 h/24 située à 10 minutes ; le premier employé n’était pas informé, ce qui a provoqué un petit moment de stress.

Decepcionante.
Decepcionante! El alojamiento mas caro que he pagado en booking en 10 años, y con instalaciones deficientes.
La ubicación brindada en la plataforma no es la real del alojamiento. No está en EC1V 9JN. Luego nos enviaron la correcta por whatsapp, tras pedirle varias veces que nos indicaran donde era, porque no lo encontrabamos.
El alojamiento No está sobre la calle Old Street. Esta a 3 cuadras, al final de un pasaje. En una zona oscura.
Los colchones muy viejos, la espalda tocaba las maderas de la cama. Las camas rechinaban.
El inodoro del baño, no tiene espacio para sentarse! Adjunto fotos.
Las ollas estaban todas oxidadas! Solo usamos una pequeña y el horno. No pudimos cocinar. Adjunto fotos.
Las sillas estaban rotas, si te sentabas, se doblaban todas. Un desastre!
Eramos 5 personas y solo había 2 camas dobles. La 5ta persona durmió en el sofá, pero tampoco nos dejaron ropa de cama para el sofá.
Hay lavavajillas, pero no hay detergente para lavavajillas, por lo que no pudimos usarlo.
No volveremos. No se alojen aqui!

Ho alloggiato con la mia famiglia per 5 notti in questo appartamento.
È situato in una zona tranquilla e ben collegata a tutto.
Covent garden è raggiungibile con bus in venti minuti. Presenti supermercati (consiglio Aldi a pochi minuti a piedi per ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo), ristoranti e tutti i servizi nelle vicinanze.
Abbiamo trovato l'appartamento perfettamente pulito e in ordine e curato nei particolari.
È situato all'interno di un condominio con vista su giardino interno per cui molto silenzioso cosa che abbiamo molto apprezzato .
Abbiamo avuto un problema iniziale ma l'host ci ha risposto immediatamente e ci ha aiutato a risolverlo.
Consiglio a tutti questo appartamento perché ti sembrerà di essere in campagna pur essendo in centro a Londra.
Lo terrò sicuramente come riferimento se torneremo a Londra.
Abbiamo dovuto raggiungere un negozio per ritirare e riportare le chiavi ma penso che a Londra sia normale questo tipo di modalità. Il negozio peraltro è sempre aperto.
Viene fornito un asciugamano grande per ospite mentre servirebbe un set completo di asciugamani per ospite.
