  : Location, quiet, convenient to shops and transport.
  : Too much light entering the bedrooms at night due to poor curtains. Light above sink in main bathroom was not working, and some of the lights in the lounge were not working.

  : The location was about a 10 min walk to Earl's Court, from there it was easy to get anywhere in London, the Southern Rail Station is only a 15 min walk as well. It was great having a large Tesco nearby, too. We were grateful Mr. Warren got us in an hour earlier- we arrived sooner than expected. The queen bed was very comfortable, having 2 bathrooms was convenient. The heaters worked well, we had a washing machine available, the traffic sounds at night were uncommon (a few car horns now and then). We also enjoyed the free wifi, and having a fairly well stocked kitchen - as far as tools and pans were concerned.
  : When we first got there, the toilet in the smaller bedroom was not attached to the floor, so we contacted the property owner/manager- Mr. Warren. He was able to get someone out there the next day while we were out - I hope the repairs were temporary as the handyman just drilled screws along the edges to keep it from moving. I know a past review has a response from the owner that says the unit was updated in January, but it didn't feel like it. The floor boards are lifting between the bedrooms, the couch is stained, the vent in the queen bedroom didn't work (the smaller bedroom vent did), and since neither of the bathrooms has a window, the main bathroom was very damp after we showered. The unit is below sidewalk level so the sewer pump comes on when you use any water, and is rather loud. There was also a sewer gas smell that sometimes permeated from the queen bed bathroom - and again, with no vent it would sometimes smell up the bedroom. There is noticeable mildew in both bathrooms, that's just poor housekeeping. The shower head in the small bedroom is broken, the clothes drying rack was missing pieces, so you had to wedge the ends against chairs so it wouldn't just fall down. The clothes cabinet hinges are loose/fallen off, only 1 bathroom floor mat was provided, and no toiletries (as mentioned) beyond a single bottle of hand soap. We were woken at 6:30am one morning to the "low battery" chirp of the smoke detector. I did contact Mr. Warren about the detector, the vent not working and the sewer smell and he responded that he'd fix "it" before 6:30pm. We came home to the detector being fixed, but no information or feedback about the vent or smell. I realize this isn't the most expensive, upscale rental on this site, but it just feels like the owner doesn't care very much about the property, besides keeping it on the market.
