Positive Reviews
positive:
In a quiet neighborhood
These rooms are in a private building in a residential area. The house blends into the surroundings and you won't have to compete with the busy tourist areas and crowds. It's good for a working location or for those who want to explore the area. You'll have to walk to get to food and entertainment, but civilization is plenty accessible.
positive:
A great location for central London
If you need access to central London, this location provides that. There are multiple rail stations a short walk away and Kings Cross is only a 15-minute walk, allowing you quick access all over the city.
positive:
A reasonable price
The let rooms are at a budget price, but will still provide for a comfortable stay. The different rooms accommodate the needs for those who have multiple guests staying together, either as a family or a group.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Lost along the wire
All communication with the rental agency for booking is done online, so there is often miscommunication about accommodation needs and about pricing. Financial aspects are often settled even before seeing where the rooms are located or what condition they are in.
negative:
Where is it?
Even after confirming the details, the rental agency often calls and switches the exact location to another address. This new address may not match the exact accommodation needs or location needs of guests. Also, this can cause a price change and the new locations don't match the online pictures.
negative:
You're on your own
There is no reception or staff on hand to take care of any needs or concerns. You'll have no recourse except a phone call or email if you should have a problem. Also, guest often have to wait for lengthy times upon first arrival to be let in and given the keys.
