Basement flat, no upper bunk
This flat is down a steep, narrow set of stairs. Communication with this host was very good, and the location is close to an Underground station though the line isn't very convenient to many sightseeing destinations nearby. This backs up to the railroad tracks and trains run 24/7 so if you have the windows open it will be loud. However, since it's a daylight basement, with windows/doors closed the noise isn't good. There is a residential neighbor upstairs whose footfalls were very audible throughout the day, though they went to bed pretty early. I made a false assumption due to the photos provided by the host that the upper bunk in the bunkbed would be available for my younger kiddo, which we learned was not correct upon arriving to the flat and seeing no bedding on that bed. I contacted the host's service which was easy to connect with but they informed me that the bunk was not available and pointed out that the description of the bedroom only promised a double bed (the bottom bunk was a double). They also refused to provide additional bedding, which I thought was rather shabby. We made do, but I thought the flat description could have been more clear. Comfortable beds, strong wifi (no cell signal due to basement), decent shower (though, why no shelf for toiletries in the shower?? weird), all in all it would have been lovely if not for the upper bunk issue.
