We stayed at Valeria's Kentish Town spot for just about a month. During the period of our stay where we were entirely on vacation, the place earned 4 to 5 stars. However, we also spent a few weeks where we had to work remotely, and the place earned 2-3 stars for that use.
Pros:
Even with the nearby Tube station closed, it was easy to get around thanks to the Thameslink and multiple bus lines
Lots of restaurants, cafes, pubs, and grocery stores were within a few minutes walk.
The place was relatively spacious with nice finishes
The kitchen and appliances were high quality.
John, the property manager attempted to assist us with the issues promptly when informed.
Cons:
Unfortunately the Kentish Town Tube station that was across the street was closed for construction for the duration of our stay, and was slated to still be closed for months after.
The hot water system did not support hot showers for more than 6 minutes before the temperature became lukewarm. Also, the water temperature needed constant adjustment mid-showering ( indicating a worn-down valve)
Wifi was unstable and unable to get through a single Zoom call without freezing - which is fine for personal calls, but not for professional calls.
No suitable chair+desk for WFH purposes (and no TV or other monitor)
Garbage bags, toilet paper, dishwasher pods, laundry pods, etc. were provided for only a few days worth.
No curtains existed for the exterior windows, providing limited privacy.
