Lackluster!
Fairly, Owner/mgr gave effort to be responsive and gracious. Tried being helpful/accommodating. Did not personally meet us though. Coordinated assistant/custodian. Communicated adequately.
Apt: Over valued. Hotels nearby (2 blks away) avail w/free brkft & parkg.
Simply stated – other/better options out there!!!!!
Bldg/area: Unimpressive bldg front blends in w/ two other bldgs to its sides. Southwark - up & coming area. Construction in vicinity. Easy walk to London Eye/stations.
Parking - told avail. Made it seem part of FLAT & not have to pay or search for parking. Sadly mistaken! Assistant – no clue. Owner barely knew but directed to prkg garage 2-blks away $20 pds/24 hour.
Pics NOT match actual. Present conditions lackluster!
FLAT 1 – one level above street. Traffic and people - Noisy!!!!
Hallways - water bottles/cleaning supplies visible.
Overall size – very small! Markets fit 6 people - tightly.
Floors – Hardwood worn&uneven in parts.
Furniture – old/worn. Couch ripped from others.
Kitchen – equipped - not used. Not inviting.
Beds – low/flat. Mattresses need replaced badly. Extra Bed&Cot - middle of living room. Conditions same. Not used.
Pillows/covers – HAVE TO BE REPLACED!!!! Think about it.
Linen – Clean/worn. Not enough, had to ask for more.
Bath towels – 6 exactly. No extras.
Bathrms – both tiled. Grout missing in sections. Tight squeeze. Door on-suite not open > 40 deg - hit tub.
Toilets - tight against wall/tub. Functional. Framing of toilet visible drywall repairs.
Tubs – set up very high/no anti-slip mats. Safety!
Shwr curtains – rods Very loose. Not covered all way round tub - messy/safety.
Shwr heads loose/dingy – calcified.
Water – good psi/hot.
Sinks – tiny. Missing drainage plug.
Heat – none 1st night. Mgr forgot on a timer?! Called - was reset 2d night. Got a cold!
Electronics – don’t forget converters.
Internet – WIFI available – decent.
Phone – NONE found.
Toiletries – bring your own.
Closets – had lamps, ironing board, covers (not usable), hair dryer, other things. Really?!
Big lesson - enough said. Stay in what u know, pay bit extra especially if staying with children. Surprised VRBO markets but took leap of faith without other reviews to support my decision. Hope this helps you!
