Access Maida Vale

Only youngsters getting drunk and partying yelling, playing loud music until the early hours. Website says no events or parties. Well, this is not the case. There is no one on site to help. Don’t expect to get any sleep in that dirty place and also don’t trust the website pictures, the place is run down. STAY AWAY.

The apartment looks nothing like the photos. It is very old. There is an attempt for it to look renovated. The kitchen and bathrooms are okay. The bedrooms are horrid.. Not clean-snots on the walks, curtains that have not been cleaned in ages, bedskirts that are torn, the mattresses falling apart. Even though our reservation clearly stated couple plus four kids there was no double or queen bed. Our options were to sleep in separate beds or squeeze into a full bed. The upper bunk bed was full of hairs (not ours ) indicating the sheets had not been changed between guests. No air conditioner. You don't know which apartment you'll get because there are several in the building we got underground. It was cold dreary unkept. The maintenance phone number is a sham though I did reach them on the booking.Com number. They came right away to fix heating and replaced a missing bulb within a day. The location is far from center which made it difficult for us to make plans with our friends who stayed in center. Must checkout by 1030 with no place for luggage. Check in 30 min away and only after 16. This was a big inconvenience even tough they pay for the inbound taxi. Wifi disconnects constantly. But Tesco supermarket and Nero Cafe very close by. Underground station close by as well.

We spent five days there. The apartment was on the 3rd floor. Old, with a very small, unconfortable and dirty bathroom and 2 bedrooms located downstairs, and a living room with kitchen, badly equipped, located upstairs. It' s necessary to buy everything. You will find the fridge empty! Tesco, at the end of the street and always open, will help you, but it you Want to have breakfast , lunch or dinner there, you will also need kitchen towels, table mats that this supermarket doesn' t sell... You also need toilet Towels: the hotel just gives you one per person... However, the apartment is in a nice residential area, and just 2 minutes walk from the nearest tube station and bus stop.
