I personally did not like the way this property handles having guests. During our stay, the showed up announced twice (probably more while we were out). The first time they came into the apartment and started knocking on the bedroom door while I was asleep. Keep in mind that I just had an overnight flight, have been awake 24 hours and just traveled 22 of those hours. So I was excited about the sliver of sleep I was able to get, just to be rudely awaken to strangers in the apartment that I paid for because they needed to take “measurements” of the room? I’m not sure what you could possibly need measurements for while you have paying guests in your establishment. The second time they came in announced and I’m assuming fixed the smoke alarm that was broken on the table when we arrived. So that wasn’t a huge issue. However it is illegal to enter while you have guests without proper notice. At least I’m the US. Another thing is, they don’t allow any visitors. This isn’t told to you until a few days before your stay. So if you have more than 2 people traveling with you; forget having them meet up with you before any outing. The whole process to check in is a nightmare. They want you to upload your passports to a site that doesn’t even have their hotel name on it. (They allowed us to email them which is still sketchy.) then you pay a pretty large deposit. Other than that the area was perfect and walkable. Lots of options. Apt was pretty spacious. - bare minimum tho.

Good location but work to improve
Checkin was tricky as per all StayInn properties. You have multiple steps to go through; ID, deposit and then keys and numbers. The apartment is comfortable with all the appliances needed. There was an unexpected viewing for the property one evening, which is unfair on the potential buyer and the renter. Which was not communicated at all, otherwise it would have worked. Overall it was good with areas to improve.

Fantastic stay
Fantastic appartment! Loved the decor, cleanliness and where it was situated. We walked everywhere from there. It lacked a little on the cooking equipment but had just enough to get by. And i couldnt work out the conducting hob. Other than that, it was perfect. Check in was easy. I would have like the check out time to be a little later. Just make sure you check your spam for the emails asking for the deposit. I phoned Stay Inn apartments as i didnt think I'd recieved it and they were very helpful and answered straight away. Dont forget to send a picture of your ID a couple of days before. I would love to stay again

Check-in was hard work. Hadn’t been sent entrance codes beforehand so had to chase up and sort whilst standing outside. Once inside it was nice and location is good.

Once we were able to get in it was lovely, great location, clean and looks as per the photos. There are a few things that need to be sorted like missing lightbulbs and no hangers for our clothes. The main issue was check-in. When we arrived at the property to check-in at 2pm we hadn’t received the entrance codes so I called and was told that I had been sent an email previously requesting our IDs and deposit but I hadn’t received anything. It took about 45minutes to sort and finally get inside. Thankfully it was sunny! Looking through reviews elsewhere this seems to be a recurring issue which could easily be prevented by following up with the guest the day before if ID and deposit haven’t been received.

Good location near Farringdon station. I got quick responses to questions on email and checkin/checkout instructions were clear. Improvements could be that the window cover in the bedroom should have blackout blinds and that hand soap should be provided in the bathroom.
