Disappointing. Not as expected.
Paula was a responsive host, always replying promptly to messages. The neighborhood was good and convenient for walking or taking the tube. That said, we were very disappointed with the look and feel of the apartment and felt that the description was misleading. The photos make it appear much nicer and more spacious than it is. If there had been photos of the outside of the building, including the front door with peeling paint, cobwebs, and a dirty, worn doormat, or the ground floor location next to a stairwell and garbage receptacles, we probably would not have booked it. The apartment was generally clean, but everything felt tired and worn, and not kept up well. There was a strong smell of cooking spices and cleaning products that never really went away. The bathroom had mold around the tiles and floor. The description states it fits 6 guests, but we were 5 adults and barely had room to get around our luggage since there was no place to put any of it. There were two sofa beds which you could feel the springs in, but they couldn't be opened at the same time because the room was too small. The mattresses in the bedroom were hard and uncomfortable. Upon arriving, we had to walk through the parking lot with all our luggage past a group of teenagers smoking and talking loudly. It did not make us feel comfortable or secure as this was basically right outside of the apartment. It was a decent rate for the holidays but there were no reviews and I should have been wary.
