Gut: Sauberkeit
Not the best
Booked as a brief stop gap in the midst of heavy itinerant work for 24/25th December. Just wanted a nice place for two nights where I could cook for myself in a nice area so paid a little more for it's Kensington postcode.
Step 1. The lockbox is in a needlessly clandestine location resulting in the police stopping me asking me what I was retrieving from under a bush (in the pouring rain).
Get inside and decide just to make a coffee and watch the news to destress. Neither of the two TVs work (one no signal. One no power outlet available). Go to bed.
Christmas Eve I was out all day (first awoken by police trying to trace one of the upstairs neighbours with loud knocking) and just grabbed some groceries on my way home.
Christmas Day go to make breakfast and start prepping vegetables for my solo Christmas lunch to find that there are NO: knives, chopping boards, or oven trays. My main reason for choosing self-catering now all but denied me (I am an engineer with some tools and used to be a chef. I improvised).
Add to this noisy neighbours upstairs (wouldn't have been an issue otherwise) and I fail to see how the accomodation matches the price tag. A nice flat in a nice area just woefully under-equipped
