My biggest issue was with the support services - I discovered a completely clogged shower drain in my bathroom upon checking in, rendering the shower completely unusable for fear of flooding the entire bathroom. However staff were unable to provide maintenance until the next day and tried to tell me it was okay for me to leave the unit while they did the work (not remembering that I am desperately waiting for a shower and cannot go anywhere until that happens?? very low contextual awareness). No discount or refund was offered. I also pre-ordered room service during my stay, but when it wasn't provided, I finally emailed 2 days before checkout to ask for the charge to be refunded to me as I had already done all the cleaning. My request for a refund was again rejected and they immediately scrambled to provide room service for a unit that had already been cleaned by me and did not need it. Extremely poor experience interacting with the support staff; they made my stay exponentially worse than it otherwise would have been. Location is fantastic - easy access to London Underground, supermarkets, restaurants, and local outdoor food market. Close proximity to universities means there's plenty of students out, very safe place. Apartment building itself is great; easy access thru codes on door lock to building and to each unit. However, it sucked that there's no elevator and I wasn't warned beforehand, so lugging up my heavy suitcase two flights of stairs was painful.

Doors between bedroom and living-room, as well as between bedroom and bathroom are made of glass with large gaps under and over. That means zero noise or (in case of bathroom) smell insulation. To top it, bathroom door has no handle from the side of bedroom, so you can only close it from the inside. Once you are out, it stays open. All smells and damp go into the bedroom. Everything in the apartment is done "quickly-fix-it-who-cares", so parts of the kitchen furniture fall onto your toes, for example. We were happy we had just one night here. Ok for a night for low price. Pretty quiet at night, close to metro.

The apartment was really nice but the people who run it are so hard to get in touch with. I kept having to have Expedia get in touch with them. Also, their "rental agreement" that we have to sign outside of the Expedia app is so sus. They indicate a £350 deposit on the Expedia site and then list it as £500 with a £104 rental fee. They say they will keep your deposit at will, not sure if we are getting it back. They also charge for towels - £12!!!! And if you decline they still put the towels in the apartment. They also charge you for cleaning or you do it yourself - but give no instructions or cleaning supplies. We were so frustrated and couldn't even shower in the morning! We asked for clarification on all of this, but no one would get back to us. The WiFi was also pretty awful, none of the 3 WiFi logins worked, until we finally got one to work after manually typing it in (instead of copy and paste). This would have been a great stay of the owners hadn't had such ridiculous house rules and if we could get in touch with them. Up until the time we finally got our instructions to check in - a half an hour late, I truly thought we had been scammed. We even did a video of the place in case they try to keep our deposit. I'd avoid this company, they ruined an entire afternoon in London because I was trying to work out the details with Expedia

The flat is in a great location, but there was no wifi and the shower was stuck on a really hot water setting so showering was really difficult. There was 3 of us staying and we had to make up the sofa lounge but wasn't provided with all the linen we needed to make the bed. It was difficult to find a contact number for the facility management. By the time I found the number to contact them it was late on a Friday and no help was received.

Avoid at all costs. Con artists

Old street- Stay Inn It is awful. Avoid it if you can. Once they have your money, thery will avoid you at all costs. They will not respond to problems after that. Persoanlly: Fridge broken Front door knob broken 2/3 lights in the bathroom don't work Shower head filthy with grime and limescale. You don't get much water out due to this. There is no window in the bathroom so there is a lot of mould built up which has gone dark brown and started to bubble. It looks disgusting. Kick plates around oven broken One bowl only One tea spoon only Chairs in dining room about to break all shake when you sit on them and are lively to collapse. Curtains are really thin so the room is fully light for 4.30am Upstairs are very noisey with a thin wooden floor so you hear loud footsteps and the tv/conversations all night. I got no sleep at all. There is a downpipe running through the bedroom so you are woken up anytime the flats run water or flush the toilet. There is an ventilation unit outside flat 3 that will go on and off through the night to keep you up. The pubs outside are okay as most close around 11 so most of the clear up and customers are gone for 12. There is no lift and a pretty narrow staircase so it is not accessible for impaired or disabled but also pretty difficult if your luggage is heavy. The pillows and bed are hideous. The pillow cases were yellow (I believe they started as white!) The hardest part over and above the lack of sleep and hugh volume of dirt is the lack of

Overall the apartment was a good size for the location and super convenient, unfortunately the toilet had remains from the last user still in there and there was debris on the floor of the bedroom. Generally the bathroom was a little tired feeling, tape on the shower pole etc. The fan was appreciated as the apartment was extremely hot but I did stay during exceptionally hot weather. The curtains were too thin to allow me to sleep past sunrise so replacing those with blackout curtains would have increased my comfort considerably. Really easy to check in and the area felt safe. Just more attention to detail in cleaning would be good.

London is a very expensive city to get somewhere to stay, so this was a really good option for the price. Nice neighborhood around the area with a ton of good restaurant choices. Locals are around the area and sometimes during the week days there were farmers markets/stalls for food here too. Great coffee shop nearby. Was a little far from train stations, 10-15 minute walk to get to the main ones like circle line or elizabeth, but again for this price you are not going to get anything better.

The check in was a bit of a faff but otherwise the apartment is really good. The location is great, I know this area a little bit and love going back. There is a supermarket very close by and plenty of bars and restaurants. It is a little rough around the edges when you look closely (some plug sockets have seen better days and the mattress could do with an upgrade) but the apartment is well appointed. You could easily spend a few days here and be very satisfied with your choice of accomodation.
