Do not be deceived by the photos. This place is wildly expensive, cramped, stuffy and dirty. There is absolutely nothing in the local area, Harlesden down the road is one of the roughest neighbourhoods in London. Many people don’t feel comfortable walking back from the tube at night. The building overlooks a noisy, dusty hs2 building site. One of my personal belongings with enormous sentimental value went missing when the cleaners entered my room, I never got it back. All they could off me was an apology and a free pizza in the bar area as if that makes up for it. I begged to be let out of my contract early due to this and other personal circumstances, but they weren’t prepared to release me a single day early, and apparently there is nobody more senior then a marketing assistant you can speak to about this. When I first asked to leave my emails got ignored for weeks. The ‘shared kitchen’ with a neighbour is basically sharing a broom cupboard with a microwave in it. There is no ventilation what so ever. The windows only open a crack, and when you do open them, your belongings get covered in dust from the building site. I now have a much larger studio, in a much nicer area, for the same money I payed here and am gutted I wasted so much money and time here miserable.
