Hideous
Pros:

Disastrous accommodation.
Booking.com should be ashamed to list this place.
Modesty forbids me from describing the true nature of this establishment.

Worse place I've ever stayed
Pros:

Location

Cons:

The room smelt of damp, it was very small and in urgent need of a renovation. The bathroom smelt even worse of blocked drains and the smell of the bathroom kept coming into the bedroom at night and made me feel sick. Never coming back here. Also it is very expensive for the quality and I booked a deluxe suite!

Not good for a family travel
Pros:

I liked the closeness to the busline 26

Cons:

The apartment is in a shabby narrow street with trash on the pavement. Our room was on the 2nd floor of an old apartment building with a narrow staircase and no elevator, making it very impractical to go with a stroller (we left part of the stroller on the ground floor with others). The bathroom does not have any place to hang towels, and it was unheated, so you need to leave the bathroom door open to let the heat from the bedroom in. There was also a tile separating from the wall in the shower. Also, I found leftovers of rice in the microwave from a previous guest.
The actual value of the apartment shouldn't be above £50 per night for the conditions.

Totally disappointed. I’m glad I didn’t have my wife staying with me!!
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

It was very noisy. Drilling and banging all day.
I had to buy my own toilet paper.
False advertising. Why show photos of lovely rooms on booking.com, which look nothing like your rooms.
Shower door fell off whilst closing them.
Whole place stinks of food being cooked.

Pros:

Terrible property. We were due to stay for 4 nights but had to leave after the first night. Unclean and not as described in the details. Missing appliances and there were bugs crawling from under the kitchen cabinets. Very poor/uncomfortable mattress. The host then refused to refund us for the 3 nights that we did not stay.
