  A Beautiful & Convenient Place To Stay

  The location of the apartment was extremely convenient for travel in and out of London as the train station was a 5 minute walk away; there was also a bus stop across the road if you prefer to travel by bus, and it had a Sainsbury's Local basically next door. The area was gorgeous, with the River Thames beside it and to be fair, if you had wanted to stay in the area, or didnt particularly feel like cooking, you had options nearby. The apartment itself was also cozy, the back of the sofa could be lowered to change it into a lounger which we took advantage of for movie nights etc. As for the TV itself, there were plenty of apps, ranging from YouTube to Rakuten TV, so there were plenty of options to choose from. We had also been provided the essentials, and inside of the toiletries we were also provided with toothpaste and mouthwash, and some shampoo. There was also spare bedding set up in the wardrobe incase we needed to do a changeover during our stay. I would definitely recommend this place to others.

  There were some draws in the wardrobe that when you pulled them out, the bottom would fall out. So we avoided using them, but there was still enough space for us to put our clothing away. The table in the living area / living room was unstable, but not to the point we were scared of putting anything on it. It just required a bit of careful attention as there was a screw or two missing. Whilst I could understand why they wouldn't include this, but some bigger bowls (like a mixing bowl, or even a plastic jug) could be helpful, especially if you're making use of the kitchen and doing a mix of cooking / baking. For the first few nights of our stay, there was a dripping noise, which we assumed came from a leaking pipe. It was particularly noticeable in the bedroom. WiFi was a bit slow, but usable for your day to day browsing, scrolling etc. I wouldn't recommend trying to upload or download anything major. The door for the flat we stayed in requires a bit of work to open from the entryway/hallway, but once you are inside of the actual apartment itself, it works fine.

  Location

  It smelled heavily of smoke. The decor was chipped and dirty. The sofa bed was covered in pet fur and crumbs. The wifi was unstable. Very difficult to access the apartment- I see this was mentioned in several other reviews and has not been addressed. It really didn't resemble the photos. So disappointing.

  Great location but overall disappointing

  The location is really convenient. It's near a great pub and a short walk to the train station and high street. It's also pleasant to be so close to the river.

  I was excited to return to Barnes, having lived in the area before, but this stay was disappointing. Hot Water: For the first few days, the shower ran for a few seconds and then turned cold. I messaged the host with a clear description of the problem, but they initially treated it as a temperature preference. It was eventually fixed. Key: The door lock is difficult to operate, and there was only one key, with no spare. For a couple, that means one person can’t leave without locking the other in, and if the key is lost there is no backup. The lock should be replaced and a second key provided. Cleanliness: The apartment wasn’t clean when we arrived. There was hair on the floors and it didn’t look properly vacuumed. The washer had a strong odor that transferred to our clothes, and the bathroom smelled damp/mildew. It probably doesn't help that the place doesn't have a lot of natural light. Supplies and WiFi: There were no paper towels or spare kitchen cloths, and no Wi-Fi information was posted, so I had to ask for it. The host was responsive, but the issues above, especially the cleanliness and the lock, made this stay unpleasant. I wouldn’t recommend this place unless these issues are addressed.
