As a first time London visitor, I made a mistake thinking this was in Westminster! It’s in Pimlico. The room is located at the bottom floor. You can look out from your bedroom window and see the sidewalk. There’s a weird smell (perhaps mold?) as you walk down the stairs. There’s water damage on the walls and some of the paint were peeling. We can’t help but feel like we’re in a dungeon. Not enough ventilation in the room and only form of AC is a stand alone fan which was covered in dust. The bathtub/shower is slow to drain and had to wait until it fully emptied until I rinsed. I’m 5”3 and my head almost touch the ceiling.
After a long day of sightseeing, we dread coming back to the apartment. I have 2 kids and they felt the same way. The place didn’t feel cozy & fully clean. One hiccup that happened during our stay was that we received a call from the appt employee that an engineer needed to come in and inspect the apartment. Seriously? It’s 3:00 pm and we’re still out enjoying ourselves and some stranger is coming in the place while our belongings were in there? I gave them permission as no valuables were left anyway. But imagine if there were! The neighborhood is not that great nor family friendly.
Floors are clean, hardwood and the fridge is in good order which were the only good things to say about to say.
I’m glad we only stayed for a few days and so relieved when our Uber picked us up to the airport!
