o get into the apartment, leaving us in the street with our luggage and phones that needed a charge after our trip. All attempts to contact our host were met with silence. Once we found a phone number to call, we were able to contact VRBO and they were amazing. Fortunately we had a wonderful trip thanks to VRBO.

Misleading description of the property. From the entry all the way up 4 flights of stairs the property is old and VERY dirty. Filth, food, trash, poor lighting and felt very gross and unsafe. I told the host in advance I was coming with my 12 year old daughter looking for a clean safe place and she was encouraging. When we got there, we could NOT stay… we had booked 11 nights and my daughter was in tears “how can we stay here 11 nights?” I said we would not. The host said her only responsibility was the room, not the property and refused a refund. The inside was “ok” but not lovely by any standard. It appeared to have been cleaned but chairs were broken, very hot. Old and quaint would have been ok, but this building/space was not that. The description misrepresents the place and experience you would expect from her words and pictures. She should have included the entry etc but of course why would you show such an awful place? We had to find lodging for our stay which was very expensive. All I asked was for a refund, and now I am challenging her refusal. Travelers rely on hosts to be honest and helpful about their properties. This was a terrible experience.
Dirt and trash all the way up the stairs (photos can’t quite capture how bad it was) elevator was questionable so we walked.
More food and diet
Bad all the way to the door, then the inside was ok, but not “lovely” as described.
Sketchy alley way where door locks are

Excellent location

Stayed here for a week with my sister. The location is superior! So close to everything! It’s an older building and an older apartment but it’s very clean and had everything necessary. It’s also quite small. Just enough space for the 2 of us but we only used the location for sleeping. Property manager was amazing. Great communication. Would stay here again and highly recommend!

Great for night owls - not for us.

The flat itself was just great for our needs. A little shabby, old, and in need of some TLC, but clean. The kitchen was fine for making breakfast and snacks, although there was no coffee maker. The bathroom was fine. Water temp and pressure was great. The location was our issue.Situated on a very busy street, the nighttime street-racing, multiple sirens, and noisy revelers outside made it difficult to sleep. The flat's manager was excellent about communicating. We did like that we were close to tune stations and walking distance to awesome sites and sights.

Do not recommend

I recently stayed at this flat, and unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory. Firstly, the water takes forever to get hot, and on several occasions, I had to endure cold showers. Additionally, the neighbors are extremely noisy, especially during the night, which made it difficult to get a good night's sleep. The flat itself looks significantly different from the pictures on the listing. This was quite disappointing as it did not meet my expectations based on the advertised images. To top it off, on our last day, the cleaners showed up at 9:20 am, despite our check-out time being 11 am. They entered the flat without knocking and insisted that our check-out time was 9 am, which was both rude and unprofessional. Overall, I would not recommend this flat based on my experience.

Good location but very noisy!

I loved the central neighbourhood but it was super noisy and it was hot for my stay there so I had to have the windows open ( no A/C ) I would highly recommend earplugs. There is a flat below which has an outside patio and several people staying there were out there smoking at all hours so the flat was filled with smoke. Some neighbours on the same floor loved to party late and leave their front door open so it was LOUD! I had to nag Valeria to give me the check-in details even though I explained I was coming from California. She finally did but less than 12 hours before which was stressful.. After that she only asked me when I was checking out. She did not respond to my messages about no bedside lamp or a leak under the bathroom sink! The amenities were spartan. There is a need for more plates, cups, glasses and bowls and soap, shampoo etc. The shower was incomprehensible and after all the reviews about it there should be written instructions. I was provided one hand towel, one bath towel and a dishtowel, not enough. The bed was comfortable but it is a sleeper sofa. Easy access to everywhere in London, short walk to tube and buses.

Perfect for a short stay 👌

I arrived at the building and it was easy to get the key as it is very close to the entrance. I made my way up to the flat entered the flat i saw that it was very clean, the bed is very comfortable. There's a washing machine which is great. The mismatch furniture was a little funny, but other than that, it's a great place for a short stay. And it is so close to the Marble arch tube and to hyde park, it's a very convenient location

Great location, uncommunicative host

The apartment itself is simple but nice and in an unbeatable location for the price. The building is a dump and the neighbors are loud and smelly. The traffic noise from outside is also particularly loud. There is paid parking available across the street, but not at the apt itself as the listing would suggest. The bed is super comfortable. The shower was a struggle to adjust - water is only either boiling hot or freezing cold, and does not stay with a single temperature for long. I arrived to very little toilet paper, paper towels, hand soap, body wash, or laundry soap. Host was communicative during the booking process and provided check in and check out details, but was slow to respond during my stay, so much that I had to go to Tesco to purchase my own provisions. I'd love to stay in this location again, but would look for other flats.

Get what you pay for

Check in was easy but besides that this was a terrible experience. Place smelt like cigarette smoke, neighbours yell from about 10pm-2am daily, shower only runs scolding hot (host did offer to send someone to fix it) and found several roaches. I ended up leaving the place a week early because it was unbearable but the location was central and the host was somewhat helpful. Check in process was easy.

Good Location

Valeria was communicative and let us check in early which was a huge plus. She also communicated that we left items and coordinated a hand off which was very considerate and much appreciated! This place is very centrally located and easily walkable to attractions, food, etc. The building in which this apartment was surprisingly run down and uncleanly. Some things within the apartment were also uncleanly (i.e. dirty silverware). On our last day, we ended up noticing that there was black mold on the ceiling in the kitchen which was very unsettling. The apartment suited our needs but was pretty bare bones (no extra blankets, heater barely worked, etc.). My partner and I were working from the space and the WiFi was very unreliable -- we couldn't have our phones connected to WiFi while on our computers and we couldn't take any Zoom calls at the same time or else we'd freeze/be kicked off. All in all, this place would be good for someone who wants a central location and will not be at the apartment much.

Flat as expected, neighbours weren’t great

The property was as listed in terms of location and interior. Basic but fine for a day or two in London and brilliant location. The building and neighbours were not great. They were loud, a little intimidating to be honest and the building itself had a very strange atmosphere. I wouldn’t recommend for solo female travellers or light sleepers.

Good spot for two days in London

Nice apartment especially if your plan is to be out sightseeing. The property manager is lovely, reachable and helpful. Unfortunately, it was very warm in London while we were there so we had windows open - between the street noise and neighbors partying with their door open very late, sleep was challenging. Regardless, it was a very nice stay.

Great location, bad neighbours

This flat is located conveniently near tube stations, Hyde Park, Oxford street, etc. We were able to walk to most places we wanted to visit which was great. The host was very easy to communicate with and the pictures are accurate. While this is no fault of the host at all, our major issue was the next door flat. We are in our mid-30's and like a good party... but the neighbours were up until 3-4am every single night, the flat was crammed with people (they left the door open), and we could hear them slamming the door to the elevator constantly. On a Sunday night we asked them around 2am to please keep the noise down and they told us to go f*uck ourselves. They made sleeping next to impossible. This stay was difficult to rate as the host was very easy to communicate with, the flat was clean and convenient, but the neighbours made our stay a nightmare, unfortunately.

An excellent stay

The apartment is old/dated, so not for those who like modern/new. It is also noisy (squeaky floors, neighbours having drop-ins every night, and lots of ambulance/police sirens). So, be aware if you are sensitive to noise. However, with those potential negatives out of the way, this was just perfect for us! Location is fantastic, just off Oxford Road and by an underground station. We walked with our luggage from paddington, walked to shows in the West End and in Victoria, and enjoyed Hyde Park at the end of the road. A large Tesco next door allowed us to get anything we needed, and the fully-equipped kitchen allowed for cooking! The space is much bigger than a hotel room, and although we didn’t meet the host, she responded quickly to emails. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to anyone who does not object to a little noise in a major city! We’d certainly come back!

London on a budget

If you’re used to backpacking and don’t need luxury but just a nice little place that you can make your home for some days this is it. Sushi in walking distance, a Tesco just around the corner, a lively street with a lot of restaurants and all kind of attractions nearby, simple 24/7 check in, an apartment that gives you an authentic experience of London - what more can you ask for? We’re a young-ish couple on a budget and definitely enjoyed our stay. Thanks for having us!
