Flat 15 was a marvelous first UK home for my husband and me. Truly the only thing I can think to caution future visitors about is that the kitchen faucet has very strong water pressure - careful washing spoons ;)!
We booked about 4 months in advance of our relocation to the UK and Edson’s prompt and welcoming communication began immediately. I felt (and still do) as though I could reach out to him for a London life tip or trick. Check in went very smoothly, his neighbor Mike met us, and gave us a quick tour of the space and how to use appliances. The flat was pristinely clean.
Everything you could need is in the flat, in excellent condition, and is very good quality. We enjoyed cooking and did so frequently, the bed and linens are super comfy, and the hair dryer is great (this NEVER happens-ha!).
We’ve been big fans of the Shoreditch/ Bethnal Green area for years and even our expectations were topped. The flat is a close and easy walk through a park no matter which tube station you need (BG or Whitechapel). It’s remarkably quiet and private for somewhere so central. Supermarket, outdoor market, pharmacy all within a 10 min walk.
If staying here take good care of this wonderful home - it’s a gem! Be sure to explore Brick Lane for street art and Columbia Road for flowers.
