Although the hosts were not there on the date of check-in, there was a very clear instruction on how to get the keys. The building manager was friendly and very helpful. The surroundings are quiet and no loud music from the neighbours. The location is closer to Columbia Road than to Shoreditch, which is good for my family who stayed there for a week. My family said they would prefer renting this apartment in the future when they come visit me again in London.
