Almost Perfect…
I had a few minor issues during my stay which couldn’t be resolved due to the hosts being away, however…
The good far outweighed the bad. The room itself is generous sized, recently decorated and very clean. It is absolutely drenched in sunlight in the morning. The bed is comfortable and there are lots of thoughtful touches - plenty of hangers, complimentary tea/coffee/sugar, earplugs - the hosts really had thought of everything. There was a sizeable wardrobe (containing an iron and ironing board) and really big chest of draws (with a hairdryer provided). There’s a fridge, a kettle and a fan also provided in the room.
The bathroom is honestly the nicest bathroom I’ve *ever* had use of (including in 5star hotels)! There was an enormous bath, a shower with plenty of pressure and a heated towel rail with really fluffy bathsheet sized towels. The thoughtfulness to guests needs was apparent here too and bath salts and hair care were provided. All the fixtures and fittings were obviously new and of a high standard. As with the bedroom, everything was scrupulously clean.
There is beautiful artwork on display in the communal hallway and entrance to the penthouse (some of which is available to buy), and there is even a laundry room which guests are permitted to use.
The location is great within a stone’s throw of great eateries, artisan food and coffee houses, bars and breweries and lots of shops (including supermarkets if you’re on a budget). You will also be close to Victoria Park and London Fields (with the London Fields Lido) if you want to do more outdoor activities.
I would definitely recommend this studio - you get a great deal for a very reasonable price. Thank you for having me Amy!
PS: Great communication from the hosts too.
