A beautiful, impeccably-styled apartment in an incredible location. We were only in London for three days for a concert, but felt at home in both Hayley's studio and in the Shoreditch area and wished we could've stay a few extra nights (and would have if Hayley wasn't booked up!). There are so many amazing bars, clubs and eateries all within very short walking distance and there are both tube and overground stops very close by for easy-access to the rest of London. The apartment really was stunning and so well-maintained, and had all the necessary amenities as well as some extras not even listed on the post, which was very nice. As a host, Hayley herself was very helpful and quick in replying to any questions I had, and her property management team were equally very pleasant and accommodating.
Please be advised that there is a bit of a walk to pick up the keys, which isn't really too long at all, but might be a bit difficult if you're not able-bodied or have a lot of luggage. We also had a bit of a mare trying to get the kettle to work as there's no plug sockets in the kitchen, but this was easily solved by plugging it in on the long work top in the lounge area where there's plenty of room to make tea/coffee. We also couldn't work the dishwasher, but I think that was just us being technologically inept if anything.
The only major problem we had was that the neighbours both upstairs and next door were incredibly, incredibly loud (screaming, laughing, yelling, stomping around) until gone five am the first night and gone three the second, which meant I barely got any sleep. Obviously, that was a bit of an ordeal and soured the mood somewhat, but that was the fault of the neighbours and not anything to do with the property or Hayley herself. I don't know whether they're residents or guests themselves, but to be on the safe side, I recommend bringing ear plugs!
Overall, this was a fantastic trip and a really lovely apartment that I wouldn't hesitate to book again. Thank you so much to Hayley for having us, we had a really great time!
