We stayed here in the fall of 2023 with 3 adults and 3 kids.
The location of this property is good - shopping close by, and easy to catch a bus to anywhere in London.
However, the apartment had a number of shortcomings:
- although it sleeps 6, there were only dishes for 4 so we had to eat in shifts;
- the wifi didn't connect, and since I was planning on it for communications for the first day, it became quite difficult to sort out. When I did manage to contact the owner, I got a different wifi name and password, but it was very slow so couldn't get Netflix, for example.
- the hot water system was fiddly at best. Over 4 days, with 3 intelligent adults, we could never get warm water - just very hot or cold. Needless to say, this let out showers, and baths were only about 3" deep as the hot water ran out. No help from the owner on this.
- the whole place is quite run down. It was clean, but carpets are fraying, there are inadequate plugs, and the bed and pillows were extremely lumpy and uncomfortable.

Was hard to sleep with the sirens, no window treatment on the bedrooms.. location was close to the sites we wanted to see, and local shops were great. Water in the shower was either scolding hot or ice cold. Being from the US, did not have communication with the person in charge. Maybe could add some wall adapter converters, the ones we brought over did not fit. Overall, we had a great time in London, missed some of the comforts that would have been nicer to have like coffee in the flat.

London Tour 2020
Leider nicht so wie auf den Bildern die Wohnung.Trotzdem völlig ausreichen zum schlafen.Aber sonst sehr zentral, Einkaufmöglichkeiten gleich gegenüber, U-Bahn 10 min entfernt, Bus vor der Tür,
Für Raucher kaum Möglichkeiten vor Ort zu rauchen, Keine Schränke für Sachen, keine Kleiderständer für Jacken...

Ordentliche Wohnung in guter Lage, nichts für lärmempfindliche
Positive:
-gute Lage
-gute Ausstattung
-sauber
Negative:
-relative Laut
-Betten etwas schmal
Die Wohnung ist perfekt um die Stadt zu erkunden. Direkt vor dem Haus fahren Buslinien in alle wichtigen Stadtteile. Supermarkt (bis 23:00 geöffnet) auch gleich vor der Haustüre. Straßenlärm die ganze Nacht. Mich hat es nicht gestört, die Kinder auch nicht. Nur meine Frau war etwas genervt. Also akzeptabel aber nichts für Ruhesuchende. Die Couch im Wohnzimmer ist zum Schlafen nur eine Notlösung.

Apartamento bonito bien situado pero con algunas objecciones
El apartamento es bonito y esta bien situado pero que la ropa de cama y toallas para el siguiente cliente este tendida dentro del piso quita espacio y comodidad al uso de la vivienda. Ademas lad toallas olian fatal supongo que por el mismo motivo

The people in the neighborhood are real Londoners, not touristy. About a mile from the tube station, many eat places along the way. And it was a good price, but... Entry to flat is a bit sketchy, divy. The scaffolding across the front of the building ground to roof was a surprise, and blocked the apt windows some. The view is not a million dollar view. Instructions for location and entry process were well detailed. Locks not all functioning as they should. New couch is nice, comfortable sitting but sheets for making it up as a bed did not fit. Other mattresses were remarkably comfortable. Kitchen was a nice convenience. Large fridge with freezer. Carpet a bit dirty, and tack strips holding it in place at doorways and edges will poke your feet if stepped on. Grout on bathroom floor is grimy and breaking out of tile, as is some tiles around toilet pipe. Bed linens okay, but towels were skimpy and smelly. Need replacement. Linens/towels laundered from previous guest were laying around on radiators and rack in bedroom closet. Toilet seat was loose and nearly detached, unable to tighten it. Precarious sitting experience! Toilet noisy, not just when flushed but Every two minutes loud noise as water refilled tank. Robert replied quickly when I had a question and informed him of the toilet concerns. Perhaps most uncomfortable aspect of apartment was outside noise from traffic and people. Main way for ambulances and police cars. We were there on a bank holiday weekend and people congregated on street and nearby businesses very loud until very late on Fri, Sat, and Sun. Even with windows closed the traffic noise is severe. Roller shades on windows are cheap and difficult to raise once brought down. Was afraid they would break away, but shades helped to keep interior cooler and provide privacy from the scaffold placement if anyone climbed up.

I would not describe as trendy. Perhaps a bit worn. Ear plugs a necessity!

Casa ordinata e accogliente, servizi come Wi-Fi e Netflix sono stati molto graditi
La casa nel complesso é in un’ottima posizione per visitare la città. Il bagno non é eccezionale ma per una permanenza ridotta è ok (il water si stacca e si sposta, la tavoletta non é ben fissata). I letti sono comodi e confortevoli. Abbiamo riposato molto bene. Peccato che uno degli ospiti precedenti abbia rubato l’asciuca capelli.

The flat has a very good appearance over all with it being recently renovated inside but the linens appeared to be old, this includes towels and bedding and theirnwas no plug in the bathroom for my hair dryer. Only one mirror in the entire house made getting ready difficult. The street that it is located on is a very busy noisy street and the windows do not block out the sounds. I Thought the windows were open. There is constant sirens going down the street. Robert and his crew were very helpful when their was a mix up with the keys and we were left in the rain with luggage for 45 minutes.

Very noisy location, needs some updates on the linen.

Zentrumnahes Appartement!
Das Appartement war sauber und zweckmäßig eingerichtet und ausgestattet. Sehr zu empfehlen ist die zentrale Lage. Gegenüber mehrere Supermärkte und Imbisse. Bushaltestelle nur wenige Meter entfernt. Für einen Londonbesuch sehr zu empfehlen!!! Wir werden es weiterempfehlen und bestimmt wiederkommen.

My granddaughter and I spent 5 days here and found it to be in a great and diverse area. The tube station (Elephant and castle) is just 20 minutes walk or very reasonable Uber and you can get anywhere in a very short time. It was easy to retrieve the key from the lock box at the front door but were kind of shocked at the ratty entry. A coat of paint and some fresh carped would make the arrival much more pleasant. As we walked up the stairs to the flat I was a bit concerned that the interior would look the same, but not true, as we were pleasantly surprised to note that the flat itself was in much better shape. Everything worked and the beds were comfy. We never actually got the TV to work, but we didn't try to hard since TV was not the reason for our trip to England. It is on quite a busy street so ear plugs are a must. The neighborhood is fabulous, very much local working class at the grocery stores and restaurants. If you like to feel part of a diverse area, you will love it. There is a grocery store right across the street and several along the way to the tube. The employees at the "Pan and Grill" became friends as we ate there quite often. The food was great and only a block away.
All in all we would stay there again and recommend this flat for experienced travelers and not for those who want to be world travelers but take the U.S. with them.
