I was very reluctant to book this property due to no reviews on VRBO. While the location couldn’t be better and this apartment is spacious with great potential, it is sadly neglected in many ways. Broken floor tiles, window shades that are falling apart, aging, thin, inner-spring (literally metal coil!) mattresses on two of the three beds, and a kitchen without basic equipment like a corkscrew and a spatula, subtract from the experience. The management was quite responsive to our requests, so it could have been worse, but the freezer icemaker doesn’t function at all, and a room air conditioner isn’t properly vented outside so that running it makes the temperature in the bedroom RISE. The “patio” mentioned in the listing has no furniture, so that’s kind of a joke: what are you supposed to do, sit on the synthetic turf floor?
With such a great location and plenty of space, we still had a good time, but renter beware: this company has a long way to go before they can call this a premium property. I found the same apartment listed on the management company's own site for ONE-THIRD what I paid, and even that seems too much per night for such mediocrity. It feels cynical. I guess they can get away with it in Belgravia. I will undoubtedly return to Belgravia and perhaps a VRBO property, but I will try to avoid My City Residence if at all possible.
