Where to begin. First, the neighborhood is lovely — VERY nice, with Rolls-Royces and other spendy cars parked at the kerb/curb — and just minutes’ walk to good museums and attractions. Lots of restaurants nearby, as are small-footprint grocery stores for your necessities. As for the apartment, it did indeed look like the pictures but once inside and “living there”, multiple shortcomings surfaced. As others have noted, the curtains were sagging (such an easy fix!); the huge leather sofa had multiple evidence of some sort of duct tape repairs and one of the large back cushions was missing. Appliances all worked fine. But then there was the persistent water leak from a bedroom’s ensuite shower — down the stairway wall, puddling on a couple of the steps. Host kept asking for details, instead of just going to my original post about the leak. Same for the wifi fizzling out. Very frustrating. Couple of light bulbs were burned out in the kitchen — again, an easy fix! — but everything was clean. In sum, we got our moneysworth in a prime location but the exact apartment and Fairway Hosting are not first choice(s) for future London visits.
