First off, this is a 4.5 out of 5 (9/10) property and very nice, but there were a number of positives and some negatives.
Pleasant surprises include some extra features, like a dishwasher, washing machine (we would have packed differently!) and the property’s ultra-quiet location (20 KM per hour zone in a quiet residential area with no traffic and only a 5-minute walk to busy Vauxhall station). We knew a heat wave was coming and asked for two fans and they were there on arrival. Those fans completely saved us!
Areas/items for improvement include the as-advertised 2 double beds. There is room for queen beds in each bedroom, so not offering queen beds is a big miss for the property. Also, no one mentioned that the adjacent property (outside the bedroom windows) is undergoing a substantial renovation as of late June. It was noisy outside for only two our of our seven mornings, but always after 8AM. The exact apartment address was NOT 40/41 Vauxhall Grove, so that was a bit stressful until we connected with our greeter. Minor issues: the window blinds were very dusty and touch up painting in the unit is overdue in various places and bathroom door. No Tassimo coffee pods were provided.
There are no recycling containers in the unit or any instructions as to what is recycled in London. The low-flow shower means that it takes ~45 seconds for the water temperature to change.
The property could potentially be a solid 5/5, but I give it a final rating of 4/5 (8/10) - good for London!
