This property is 2 doors down from a bar. Subsequently the noise level picks up after 10pm and continued past 2am - one night until 3.30am! Thankfully it stopped before we called the police! .
Luckily, maybe because it was Xmas time, the bar was shut after our third night so my family caught up on some sleep!
The street the house is on is also a pedestrian cut through from Tottenham Court Road. It can get busy from time to time there is also a lot of bagged trash around too (apparently residential London can be like this) .
The ‘house’ looks like it was once former offices, now converted to a residence. 2 rooms do not have closets. There are 5 flights of stairs to get to the top bedroom. So this property is probably not suitable for handicapped, elderly or disabled clients. The ground floor bedroom is right next to the ‘noise’!
The house badly needs updating. I agree with a previous reviewer, the house is not in the condition depicted in the photos. Things were not as clean as they could have been.
Some maintenance is needed. I didn’t dare look at the mattresses, and the throws on the beds were dirty. The bathrooms again, need a lot of TLC (particularly the basement bathroom) I loved the tape around the shower head! LOL
If I had a favorite room it would be the basement. My family would congregate and watch some TV / dine together when we were in.
This room has its foibles too. Rug in this room needs replacing (not safe -tripped up several times) as does the 2-seater couch.
The owner Robert seems very pleasant. Was receptive to my request for a small Christmas tree. Answered my questions promptly before arrival and even provided airport transfer one-way for 2 of my family members. Very disappointed that my main concern was not addressed. The front door lock was extremely difficult to open. The security chain was broken off ( not good considering a bar was 2 doors down). I let the owner know. It was before Xmas but I was told that given it was holiday time nothing could be done immediately. For 7 nights we were there it was never fixed. So happy we weren’t stuck outside. Lucky!
Proximity to places of interest is good.
Be warned it’s a high traffic area and can get noisy.
