Matkat – Watlington

The two bedroom apartment was good. Sparsely furnished for such a big space, but that's fine. No air con so REALLY warm. After a couple of days with all the windows open, it became tolerable. The relationship between the owners and the front desk is strange. For example, there were no toilet rolls in the apartment - front desk gave as a couple as a favour, but said it's nothing to do with them, and we're meant to message about that kind of thing. At check out I mentioned that one of the windows doesn't close - he didn't seem too bothered, and it was hard to guess if he'd ever tell anyone about it. Communication from the owners was dire. They use the messaging facility on this site, but don't type anything, just attach HTML files containing the messages. On my phone, they appeared as dark grey text on a black background, making them near-impossible to read. I guess those messages would have been the route to information like the WiFi password, but I couldn't read the messages, so never found out.

Odotuksiin ja hintalaatusuhteeseen nähden vastasi odotuksia. Hiljaisuus ja henkilökunnan ystävällisyys ylitti odotukset. Lämmintä vettä tuli suihkusta 5 min veden laskemisen jälkeen. Suihkun termostaatti ei toiminut, mutta se ei ollut ongelma, kun vesi oli sopivan lämmintä. Perusaamupala, jolla sai mahan täyteen. Sijainti oli hyvä. Metro 200m päässä.

The rooms were tiny and a bit worn down. The air condition worked for an hour and then it shut down and had to be restarted again. We were given a cellar room which had very loud construction noises next door starting at early morning and we asked for another room, which the staff kindly gave to us. The location was good, right next to Earl’s Court station. There were shops and nice resturants and the area was quite calm.

Huone oli siisti ja suihkusta tuli hyvällä paineella vettä. Henkilökunta oli erittäin kohteliaita ja aamupala oli maukas.
