I really hate writing negative reviews, but I have to be honest about my experience here because the pictures are misleading. When I booked the place, the other negative reviews hadn't come in yet. If I had seen them I never would've booked it.
TLDR: This place is fine if you want a sort-of private youth hostel experience and you are 1-3 people planning on just partying in Shoreditch and passing out and you are only staying for 1 or 2 days max. If you want literally anything more than that from your AirBNB, don't stay here. It was dirty, poorly renovated with the cheapest stuff, awkward, smelled damp and dirty, and if there is more than 2 of you, you have no privacy.
We booked for 8 days but only stayed 3. It looks bright and clean and lovely in the pictures but it is not. All the artwork and homey touches in the photos were gone, only hardware on the walls where the artwork used to be. The carpet is stained in nearly every room so you don't want to take your shoes or socks off. There was a bad smell of damp in the entire place. The weird rusted metal poking into the shower that another guest pointed out is still there, and the bathroom light is broken as well. The bathroom floor and shower had black and pink stuff growing in the grout in the corners, and the water fluctuated between cold and too hot. The dishes, pots and pans, and kitchen sink were all filthy when we checked in, the kettle had black stuff all over the sides, and there were cans of paint, lighting equipment, and a ladder in the apartment. The sitting room is the 2nd bedroom, so there is nowhere for you to hang out except the kitchen, which is very small. The stools in the kitchen weren't fit to sit on. If there were 5 people with all their luggage, there would probably not even be anywhere to stand.
The windows in the kitchen and 1st floor bedroom didn't have shades on them (and a double-decker bus goes by pretty frequently so people are looking directly into your bedroom window). The owner contacted me telling me they knew the window shade was broken and they'd be there at 5:30 to fix it. I didn't see this until after 5:30, and asked what day and time they were planning on coming over. I never heard back from them. I see from other reviews they had done the same thing to other guests, so this was a known issue that wasn't fixed.
I gave more stars for communication and checking in because the owner was very proactive, reaching out before we had left to ask what time we wanted to check in. They let my partner check in a few hours early, while the cleaning person was still there, and that was really accommodating of them. They also reached out to let us know they'd come over to fix the window, but then we never heard from them again.
They did fix the bed that other reviewers had commented on. The bed linens and towels were clean and there were lots of towels.
Shoreditch is a great, lively neighborhood that is packed on weekends, and this place is above a bar with a dance club in back. Just know that on weekends there will be people standing outside your windows smoking until very early in the morning. This is outside the owners' control so it is not counting towards my review, just pointing it out in case you are still interested in staying here.
We ended up cancelling the rest of our stay and booking somewhere else.
