I selected this place because of its price, location and super-king-sized bed, and it delivered on all three. The bed was huge, comfortable, and equipped with great pillows and professionally laundered and pressed bed linen I'd expect in a 4 or 5 star hotel. The location was just a few minutes' walk from transit options and shops, yet was on a quiet dead end street.
There were also some pleasant surprises. When we arrived, we were delighted to find it had a lift! Great for getting our luggage upstairs and a treat after long days of sightseeing. The flat was clean and very thoughtfully furnished, with lots of storage, abundant toiletries, cozy throws in the living room, and a well-equipped kitchen. There were great little drying racks over most of the radiators so after using the washing machine it was easy to dry our clothes. There were huge windows, so it was light and bright, but with blackout shades and blinds for privacy and shutting out the city lights at night.
It was not without its quirks, though. The bath was raised above floor level, which made it difficult to climb in and out of and left very little head room. My husband and I are both nearly 6 feet tall and I don't know if anyone taller could have comfortably stood up to shower. There was also a bump-out in the wall/ceiling of the bath that put a sharp corner right where your head would naturally be while showering, requiring constant care lest you bump your head.
For a place so thoughtfully set up in many ways, it could use some love. Threadbare carpet, a loose floor tile or two, stains on the ceiling, chipped paint, etc. We found that the three lamps in the bedroom and one in the living room weren't working (they may just have needed replacement bulbs; we didn't investigate). And while the tv worked fine the first day (once we figured out which input source was needed for the sky tv receiver), it never worked after that despite extensive troubleshooting. The owner felt it was our error but we wondered if the frayed coaxial cable into the receiver might be the problem. It was not resolved during our 9-night stay.
Depending on your priorities, this could be the right place for you. When I was looking for places, I didn't consider any without a tv, so in hindsight I wouldn't have selected this place. I had envisioned coming home after long days sightseeing to enjoy favorite British shows I normally can only see years late or not at all, so I was pretty disappointed.
