A sleeper sofa and extra couch was added in living room to accommodate more guests but losing space in living room. Convenient for big parties but unnecessary for a solo traveller or a couple. David came to the apt at my request so I can show him the issues that needed to be adressed. He was grateful and receptive to the criticism and suggestions and expressed he would take action to change to a better cleaning service. He had trusted that the cleaning person would do a thorough job. Some details were absolutely not acceptable to provide a proper clean place making guest feel at home. Decor differs from photos. Minor details but shows a bit of downgrade from the new and modern look in photos from time ago. I suggested David to update rental description and images as one building rose right in front of property. You can see neighbors lives -as they can see you- and another one is rising. Heavy construction work and noise even on Saturdays since early AM. Also noise from utilities in neighbors apartments can be heard. If you are immune to white noise and other machine noises it should be no problem. If not, this is not a place for you. The building has a young crowd in and out that share the units -to afford rent, I imagine-. There is a rooftop with views but also a noisy huge exhaust (of central air perhaps?). Surprisingly, there are no electric outlets in bathroom and light is poor so a woman would need to go to bedroom to do anything cosmetic or use a hairdryer. It is a nice size bathroom and apartment in general with very good light and fresh air, which is something I appreciate compared to new buildings where you cannot open doors. Everybody is different. Someone who would not be affected by sounds and equipment in a very high building could be comfortable there once David makes sure a proper cleaning service does a better job considering the rental daily rate.
The elevator could come quickly sometimes or about ten minutes wait depending on time of day. Allow time to descend or ascend.
There is a restaurant almost around the corner that is a jewel, a true gastronomical experience: The Townsend within the Whitechapel Gallery. Highly recommended. Sainsbury market is also around the corner.
