6/10 Okay

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, listing accuracy
Good value, and nice to have a kitchen. The fittings are fairly new, and everything worked well. There was no documentation with the studio, e.g. nothing to say what to put in each of the four bins (important for non-UK visitors), or what the various switches do (including those in cupboards). My studio was on Cowley road. Despite being on the third floor, it was quite noisy. There didn't appear to be any air conditioning, and my visit coincided with a heat wave, making sleep difficult. The mattress and pillows (only two) were very thin, which is something that they need to fix it it's going to compete with hotels.
