The apartment was nice and clean. Great location - close to a supermarket and to a couple of restaurants, 5 min walk to the West Kensington subway station, and you are downtown in no time. Communication could be improved, I was not getting a response from the host via VRBO messages, had to call the customer service to reach him, but from that point on we messaged through WhatsApp and the check-in process went nice and smooth. I believe they had a staffing issue, so that may have been a problem.
From what I understood, not a lot of apartments/houses have A/Cs in London (just like this one), so if you visit in summer you would need to open a window to cool the apartment down, as it gets pretty cool at night. Keep in mind the sunrise is early (at about 4:30am-4:45am), since you have to keep the drapes open for cool air, the daylight may wake you up early. Also, the birds start singing with the sunrise, while it’s pretty they’ll wake you up as well. So, if you are planning on sleeping in make sure to bring your Eye Cover Sleep Mask and Ear Plugs.
