4/10
Our flight arrived early in the day and we had prearranged for an early check in with the host. He asked us to text him when we were on our way to the apartment (between 11 and 12 am). We did several times but received no response repeatedly, so we arrived and stood outside the apartment with all of our luggage for nearly 30 minutes while we tried to contact him by phone for instructions to access the apartment. The flat had 4 bedrooms and 1 bath as mentioned. But accessing the apartment is by physical key and a sliding barn type door. If part of your group leaves and locks that door, there is no way to unlock it from the inside so you can be locked inside the apartment (which doesn’t seem safe at all if there was a fire or other emergency). We were in London in the middle of a heat wave and there is no air conditioning in this house. Three of the bedrooms are on the 3rd story of the house and are HOT. One of them has a window that has been painted shut with no way to open it. (This seems dangerous for fire access reasons but also created a sauna with no airflow for temperature relief). We roasted all night. I know extreme heat is not the norm for London, but if you stay here in the summer, beware. It was absolutely miserable temperature-wise.
