As a whole its a good apartment that easily accommodated the 5 of us in terms of space and facilities
its good value for money, close to Tube station and Tesco express supermarket.
WiFi, large screen television, a laundry machine and all required kitchen facilities - all working well.
The owner sent us clear instructions for self check in and responded promptly to our requests
the biggest drawback is that you have to climb 4 floors in very narrow corridor and with non standard stairs.
this is not easy when you are with just your day bag but is very difficult when you are with a 22Kg suitcases...
you need to be in physical shape and take multiple breaks for resting
the water heating in the shower was unstable and unpleasent to shower : either extremely hot water or too cold.
the flat is lacking in terms of maintenance and I do offer the following items for improving the experience for future customers
1. improve or put instructions for the proper use of the hot water in the shower
2. make sure that there is enough shower gell / shampoo
(I have no problem with self check-in but please make sure that flat is ready per the specified number of guests and number of nights for the stay)
we found no shampoo at all and very little soap when we arrived. there was also not enough towels , we had to ask the owner (but to be fair - we did receive them on the next morning)
3. please install back the missing door under the kitchen sink its not a pleasant experience.
4. the interior of the Electric Kettle looks horrible: big brown stain (of burnt milk ?) - needs immediate cleaning or replacement.
5. some of the bed sheets were not clean enough
all in all we recommend the flat provided that you are aware of the location (shoreditch) and the lack of elevator.
