Very disappointed when arrived at address.
The location was good. Easy walk to the tube. Also close to Exmouth market.
Firstly the description on booking needs to be rectified. It states there is a lift which there wasn’t. Stairs were very steep and narrow and the flat is on the 2nd floor. Also stated there was a balcony. No balcony. The flat was satisfactory in terms of size and functionality. The bed needs to be replaced as the mattress constantly came off the slats. I had to pull the mattress completely off the bed and square it up and put the slats back on to stop this from happening. I would advise that a queen bed would be more appropriate it that size room and more comfortable. Also it was extremely hot and the fan that was supplied was only a desktop fan which was useless. The blinds in the flat are a bit tattered with one completely missing in the lounge room. Also because of the heat the windows had to be left open and the outside noise was constant all night. The flat is on the corner of a main road. I will be contacting booking to let them know that the description of the apartment/flat needs to be rectified as it would not accommodate anyone with a disability or ailment as the stairs are extremely difficult.

Good location, with room for improvement.
The location itself was convenient. However, there were multiple inaccuracies in the listing and several issues with the apartment that significantly impacted our stay.
Communication was poor throughout the booking process. In the lead-up to our reservation, I sent messages on three separate occasions and received no response.
The futon couch is only suitable for one adult and would be uncomfortable for two. Despite the booking clearly stating that more than two guests would be staying, insufficient linen and towels were provided. There was also no indication of where additional bedding or towels for extra guests were meant to come from beyond what was supplied for the main bedroom.
The living room, which functions as the second sleeping area, was also missing one of its blinds, meaning the light could not be blocked out in the evening.
The listing advertises a balcony; however, there is no balcony at the property.
The listing also states that there is an elevator/lift to the upper floors, however there is no lift at the property. This should not be advertised as accessible accommodation. Carrying luggage up the narrow staircase with tight corners was difficult, and this inaccuracy has already been raised directly with booking.com.
There was no clearly designated kitchen bin, and no body wash, shampoo, or conditioner provided in the bathroom.
While the apartment appeared generally clean, there was a clear lack of attention to detail inconsistent with the standard presented in the listing. There was mouldy silicone in the bathroom, unfinished plaster patchwork visible throughout parts of the apartment, and dirt marks on the walls in both the living room and bedroom.
The pricing structure is also misleading. A mandatory cleaning fee is separated out at payment as an “optional add-on,” despite being compulsory. Regardless of any prior public responses from the host suggesting guests should “read emails carefully,” it is reasonable for guests to expect that compulsory cleaning costs are included within the advertised booking price.

A good experience for the whole the family
Location, good for getting into Central London walking or by tube. The apartment was in a pleasant street, and the house was exceptional clean and facilities were perfect.
The Host was flexible and clear in all communication.

I love the location, perfect distance from major train station (around 10mins walk), so won’t be noisy.
The home furniture and kitchen is pretty nice, basically included everything you need. also there is a supermarket near the apartment too!
I hope they can provide more toilet roll and trash bags 😂. we still for 2 weeks and there is only 3 toilet roll… but this is minor stuff. overall the property is nice.
