The location was great. The place does need some touching up. I would love for the host to contact me to discuss in more detail. Overall we would stay here again.
The location was great and the place was ok, but there was a terrible sewer smell coming from one of the bathrooms that made the adjoining bedroom almost unbearable. The host were in no hurry to address the problem, which was brought to their attention quickly. In fact, they said they would look into it AFTER we left.
Our group of 7 adults was very happy with the location and size of the unit. It's close to public transit, restaurants, and the British Museum. However, we had issues with the dampness of the unit, especially on rainy days and when showering. The bedrooms and bathrooms are all basement-level, so you aren't able to get good ventilation into the rooms and it takes a long time for the bathrooms to dry.
The apartment is located in the basement of the building which unfortunately creates bathroom drainage issues. The back 2 bedrooms of the house almost always smelled of sewage and shower water did not drain well.
Location and communication with owner/agent was great. Unfortunately, there was a known plumbing problem in the en suite bathroom. Mold along door edging, and warped floor boards due to wet, dank conditions = subpar. Could not open windows to air out the accommodation without the smell of urine infiltrating the apartment. Apartment is in a basement and windows are located below street level in an alley. Perfect potty stop tucked away in Bloomsbury. Agent offered a 25% discount for a future stay as compensation. Later remedied with a small refund. Not 25%. With a clean up and reduced rate, would recommend.
