AVOID AT ALL COSTS!||This property turned our dream family vacation into a logistical nightmare. We booked a two-bedroom apartment to comfortably accommodate our family, including young children. …

Excellent location, next to everything. Just the flat is somewhat worn out and needing refurbishment and repairs. Nevertheless I give it five stars because of the rest.

Avoid this place at all costs. Location is great but we stayed recently and the apartment was filled with mould, the caulk around the bath was so thick it was obvious they just keep trying to hide the mould with more and more caulk, you could see the mould rising up behind it where the caulk went over the grout (harder to hide there). Only solution they offered was a diffuser. They also accessed the property without advising us, moving our stuff and adjusting the thermostat. Afterwards they tried to lie their way out of accountability for the state of the apartment.

This 2-bedroom apartment is located in a very good and quiet area closed to UCL and British museum. It's very easy to travel around London. A few minutes walk to Tube station and many good bars, restaurants. Our room is big and clean. Will come back again.

Minimum Security PrisonThis is not a hotel. It is an apartment building that has units being rented out to travelers. Check in was confusing, had to personally try the code on stranger's doors to get in because, no one answers ALL 5 phone numbers provided to guests. The entire unit has NO AIR COND. hot as heck the whole day, Street side is super noisy with traffic and/or construction, rear side has people throwing away trash into huge bins in the early hours. Beds and linens are filthy, beds horrible quality. Last day we left the room and got locked out when trying to get our luggage to rush to airport. Had to call 20 times to get our luggage and not miss our plane.Terrifying place to walk at night.if we could give less than 1 star for service it would be great.
