Beautiful apartment, very stylish
Communication/ organization was a nightmare. We couldn´t get into the apartment by the time we booked it because the cleaning team had a flat tire. we just got that message, it was impossible to talk to anyone nobody answered the phone. Landlord has it´s own ridiculous T&C which are contrary to the T&C on booking.com - one day before check in they suddenly told us, the booking is NOT confirmed (although it was confirmed by booking.com) and demanded IDs etc. Massive stress factor, especially since the actual booking was half a year ago! The neighbors hate the fact that the apartment is rented out to tourists and are very unfriendly. The landlord has a list of fines in case the neighbors complain - fun fact: every morning between 6 and 8 pm the neighbors make so much noise (cars, people talking very loud, doors slamming) that it was impossible to sleep unless you sleep in one of the rooms without a window.

Location is great. Super market just 5 minutes walk. Lots of restaurants. Very close to all transportation.
Poor communication with the person giving access to the property. Had to send photos of IDs and people staying at the property and the internet was not good. It was very difficult. Wish this request was in advance so it is not a hassle upon arrival. Poor drainage in the master bedroom bathroom. Needs better cutlery. The property needs maintenance, water in the kids bedroom when it rains.

Well positioned in a nice quiet part of London while also very close to the tube, which comes frequently. A short walk from Kensington garden and palace, with some great restaurants nearby. An en-suite bathroom for the main room really helps with a large family. Sainsbury’s literally across the road so that helps a lot too!
The kitchen is very small, but still well stocked.

Location is good (good neighborhood)
house & room size is ok for large group
1) staff request for deposit 24 hours before our stay, as a foreigner i cannot use my credit card oversea neither i can do transfer. This is troublesome as i need to open international roaming to receive OTP to proceed with the deposit £250 with is very high.
2) £250 is refunded only after 14 days of check out date which i see is not necessary, and they do need us to follow up everyday to get the refund done 😅
3) staff do not know the exact house number, we waited beside the cold dark street for 1 hour just to find the correct house. The staff keep telling us is no.52, but the actual door number is no.2 which is kind of frustrated. She even email me the photo of showing no.2 at the door but insisted in the phone its no.52.
4) the door system is not very user friendly, as need to call and set up on the phone & app. personally thinking that old way of code password access is much more convenient.
5) only washer provided, no dryer in the house
6) not value for money

decoration es good
I said it was for 7 people and they didn’t have me 7 towels
if you need something during the stay is kind of hard to solve it

Great location, very clean, plenty of space
Provision of ID for everyone only requested two days before arrival, digital key very good but a bit challenging for the over 70s in the group. Not enough towels provided and no hairdryer.

3.0 / 5.0
The location is perfect. Sainsburys, wait rose and tesco all within walking distance. Train a four minute walk down the road. The customer service team were amazing. Great communication before and during stay.
The place needs a lot of love and tlc. Bathroom door handle was broken when we arrived and fell off during our stay. Bathroom window still broken (previous reviews also noted this) hot water needs to be fixed. It is scorching hot then cold for a second then scorching hot again.
Might also be a good idea to let people know about the stairs up to bedrooms and the only bathrooms are up stairs. Would have been ideal as we had grandparents with us in our trip.

Communication was effective. Deliver what was expected. Location is great. Some towels were missing and were delivered right after communication.

1) We saw linens delivered by professional service truck, so linens were trustworthy clean. 2) The Annaluckmi Store across the street on Cromwell Road was perfectly convenient and inexpensive without prior reservation to store our luggages before check in. 3) Their customer service response time via booking.com messaging is consistently fast and polite. *Tip: This property is Gaspar Close around the corner from Park International Hotel, not Gaspar Mews, another property across. A neighbor redirected us. He said it happened a lot.
1) Someone posted a photo of the damaged window (upstairs ensuite bathroom) here in June 2022. Same window was still in the same condition when we stayed in September 2022. We sent a similar photo via B.C messaging to cover ourselves so as not to be charged for "damages" from our 250GBP deposit. That window could not close tight to stop cold wind. We lived with it, because we had personal items spread out and didn't want anyone else to come. 2) We had pursued a reimbursement, which strangely their financial team could not offer estimate days/weeks for the refund. StayBeyond was tough with their demands for our id's and security deposit, they should have the same consideration for customers. Thanks to their customer service for helping.

Location was good
Oven didn't work, dishwasher smelt, not enough cups and when requested more was told no one available to give any. Only 6 dining chairs, there were 8 in group so couldn't all eat at the same time. Asked for more chairs, none arrived. Customer service is in Philippines!
Floors were dirty, hairs in kitchen, crockery was dirty.
The photos are not a true likeness of actual rooms, they are a scam. There is only one window which opens, and there are no views. Window is so dirty you cannot see out of it
Door access is difficult to manage, and not very secure.
A £250 deposit is required but there is nothing in the apartment to warrant this amount of money.

Overall, we found this accommodation to be very clean and well presented. It was also very conveniently located just a few minutes walk away from the nearest tube station so it was very easy to travel into the city center. I thought it was great value for money and would greatly recommend this apartment for larger groups looking to stay near London without breaking the bank!
Our only (minor) complaint was that the house had a large skylight in the hallway as well as one in one of the bedrooms- whilst this made the apartment lovely and bright during the day it did make it quite hard to sleep in later than 6/7am due to the sunlight coming through. This was in June however so that may not be as much of an issue if you are staying here at a different time of the year!

location and high ceilings create sense of space
No yea towel and shower in bathroom was scalding hot for the first two days - then it was fine.
4.0 / 5.0
The location was excellent, within walking distance of Gloucester Road tube station.
The size of the property was perfect, for a family travelling with children, the living area was perfect. The bedrooms were all a good size too, with lots of storage for clothing and bags etc.
The kitchen was very small, although we didn’t use it all of the time, but it allowed for just one person in the kitchen at any one time.
It would have been ideal to have a bathroom downstairs as there’s a bedroom down on the ground floor. There is however an en-suite and a bath in the main bathroom upstairs.

no windows that you could see out of, however for the price/location/size of the property this was forgotten about

Amazing location, great size accommodation, loved how the bedrooms were quirky and clean. Well equipped kitchen great communication and customer service no matter what time day or night. Location was outstanding, a true hidden gem. Many thanks for a great stay.
The only thing was for 10 people staying more loo rolls would have been useful.

Good front room size, really good location.
The pillows for the bed didn’t have pillow cases
3.8 / 5.0
Clean beds, big living room. Close to underground and supermarkets.
It was a bit dated, but that was not a big issue. No toilet on first floor.
1.9 / 5.0
It’s big
The appartement was not very clean. I have asked to send someone for cleaning there was no availability due to easter vacation but this was not a good reason. There was aunt all over the place. The neighborhood was not quiet as people start shouting at 6am.
1.4 / 5.0
Property was very dirty and we were told it was cleaned one week before we arrived. It was cleaned up the next day but still not up to our standard. Kitchen had mild dew in the wash area. Fridge had a bad smell. Skirting on the stairs fell off.
