Shared bathroom / listing is misleading

Good location, Star Lane DLR is just a short walk away. However, the listing is somewhat misleading. The property has a number of rooms, a nice kitchen dining area (communal) and two bathrooms shared by the bedrooms. It was fine. You get what you pay for. I wouldn’t stay there again.

Liked: Cleanliness
The property is good for the price, a cheap option - the door codes and keys were simple to use once i got the codes from the owner. its a bit out of the way - not much around the area - other than the DLR station at Star Lane. Would recommend if your on a budget.

Liked: Cleanliness
the property was all in all good but we were right underneath the roof and the window didn‘t open and it was so so hot in our room. we had a fan but that also didn‘t work well and no air conditioning and it was almost unbearable hot. also, we stored our food in the fridge of the kitchen and one day it got all stolen so we had no food anymore. we then called the host and fortunately, he said we can order food and he will pay for it and he did so it was okay but it was still annoying.

Voy a empezar desde un día antes de entrar, supuestamente te envían un email con el código de entrada 24 h antes, yo tuve que buscar el numero del propetario y escribirle para que me mandara el codigo porque a un par de horas antes de entrar todavia no me lo habia mandado, eso ya da que desconfiar. Cuando llegamos el apartamento está sucio, pero no sucio de un par de dias tiene suciedad acumulada de años. Los baños horrible, he estado en baños públicos mas limpios que ese baño. Cuando subimos a la habitación, nos toco la habitación cuatro es un altillo donde tienes que caminar agachado, sin ventilación, lleno de polvo, fue horrible mi experiencia y quiero ayudar a otros huespédes que no reserven aquí si no quieren pasarlo mal.

Kamer zeer klein

Kamer was heel klein en vuil. Er lag stof achter het bed. Bij binnenkomst zagen we mieren over de vloer kruipen. Badkamer was een gedeelde badkamer en er lagen haren in de douche. We hebben ons er niet gedoucht. Bed was dan wel weer goed. Keuken was proper en er waren voldoende voorzieningen.
