This condo is close to food, the waterloo train station, a grocery store and Big Ben. Great location. With it being so close to everything, including bars, you can hear the hustle well after 10pm. We were kept up late until 2am a couple of nights due to the thin windows. Totally beyond the owners control.
What is in their control though is the need for minor maintenance in the apartment. The bathroom toilet, wall stone, and shower caulking are pulling away from each other to leave an unsightly and frankly uncleanable area.
Also in need of some TLC are the shower head (slimy, we ended up picking some things out of the rubber tips to let the water completely flow) and the dining table (so wobbly, it'll fall at any point and could use tightening). The mattress could be replaced, it's pretty lumpy.
Lastly, we didn't get our check in information until requesting it. With people busy packing, many for an international trip, it would be nice to have that auto sent. It gave us quite a panic looking for last minute hotels until the owner responded. Best way to contact them is whats app.
Perks: cheaper than hotel, location next to food, laundry machine, kitchen.
Cons: loud bar neighbors, needs maintenance.
Overall it's not likely we'd stay here again unless these adjustments to the living quarters were changed. But it's not a bad spot to be in London for a few days.
