We wanted a flat close to our daughter in this area and it suited our purposes perfectly. It was clean and very well and thoughtfully presented with everything you could need for a short stay. Good links to public transport and a quick trip to central London. Close to Broadway Market, London Fields and Victoria Park.
The downside was that from the moment we arrived we had a problem with a large number of flies. Toby said there may have been food left by a previous tenant and advised buying fly spray. We spent about two hours on our first night killing numerous flies in all the rooms. There was a slight improvement the next morning but by the evening were just as bad. Toby then contacted the owner who came around while we were out, saw no evidence of flies (I have photos!) but put some tape over the ventilation "just in case". I'd asked for some compensation for the unpleasantness of the first two days and was given £30, one third of one night's fee. Had we known it would continue to be a problem for the entire week we would have had to leave. My husband was chatting to a neighbour who told us it has been an ongoing issue in five of the six flats in the complex; in other words the owner is well aware of the problem.
We went through nearly two cans of fly spray and believe the main issue stems from the bathroom.
It made what should have been an ideal stay extremely unpleasant.
