Prijs kwaliteit was het niet waard om hier te verblijven
Cons:

Voor 460 euro was dit echt erg onder de verwachtingen.
Lijkt niet op de foto's, waren smerige plekken op het platfond in de badkamer, het was redelijk dicht bij de stad maar zeker minimaal 20 minuten lopen. Het personeel was wel oke. Ze deden hun werk en was ook wel alles. De positiviteit in hun was niet aanwezig, net alsof ze daar niet wilde zijn.
De kamer was prima ook niets bijzonders maar had ik ergens anders voor veel goedkoper ook kunnen boeken. En dan tot slot het bed. Ik denk dat er op 1 punt in de nacht kwam dat ik liever op de bank had willen slapen. Alles behalve comfortabel.

Mixed feelings
Pros:

Location, Tesco downstairs, self catering equipment was good. Size of unit is a plus in London

Cons:

Wifi was out for couple of hours but not just in the property but wider area so outside of the propeties control. The plumbing is poor with the sound of effluent from higher units being heard in this unit 29. They should have done a better job at insulting this for this awkward constant sound. Couch is seriously uncomfortable to sit on
