The space was lovely -- modern and stylish and well-appointed. The kitchen had pretty much everything you could possibly need to craft whatever you wanted, if you were of a mind, but Shoreditch has so many excellent food options that you're unlikely to decide to take advantage of the springform cake pans. I did make use of the coffee grinder and insulated cafetiere to enjoy some of the locally roasted coffee from one of the many coffee places in the area. The location is only a few minutes' walk away from the Old Street Tube station, so transportation was easy.
Check-in is self-service, so we didn't have to meet anyone. If you're fiddling with the lockbox in the evening, you can expect commentary from people outside the pub next door. Messages are answered by a "team" and check-in information is managed by an app that generates mails and Air BnB messages. Most of the time it kind of felt like I was interacting with a team of cheerful Stepford-Wives-esque robots. That was a little jarring, but that was only a little blip in an otherwise great stay.
