Following the directions to Fred's place was pretty simple. We picked up the keys to the flat from the management office one street over. The only thing is that they did not note how long I was staying when I told them, so the day after check-in I received a text from the office requesting me to return the keys. It was an easy fix once we cleared it up. Just be sure to state clearly how many days you will be there so you won't have to make an impromptu trip back to the office. The rest of our stay was pretty pleasant. Only heard noise from the neighbors as they were closing their doors to leave for work in the morning. Very quiet complex building. A great location in Whitechapel. Close to a tube stop and the Brick Lane Market if you're lucky enough to visit on a Sunday. We had no trouble coming and going. The neighborhood seemed very safe. There is a Tesco Express a block or two over towards the tube stop if you need anything. We had most of the comforts of home, though we didn't get to use much of the amenities. Honestly, we were out and about exploring the city every day so mainly used the flat to sleep. I used the clothes washer twice and the dishwasher for all of our dishes at the end of our stay. Both were pretty easy to figure out. Fred has a binder full of appliance manuals and directions for using just about everything in the apartment. I used the stovetop for breakfast one day, but didn't get to use it more than that as we ate out all the time. The kitchen sadly was only utilized to have a cup of coffee in every day. Oh, and the coffee maker uses specific pods from what I could tell. I had bought coffee from the store before checking that little detail. We had to go back to see if they had the pods for it, but ended up getting the instant kind to save the hassle. I left the coffee I had previously purchased in the cabinet for Fred. Perhaps, he can make better use of it. If you are like us and don't like to cook meals on vacation food options throughout London are spectacular. The flat is very eco-friendly. Heaters throughout the apartment. French doors that open for fresh air. Not much wardrobe space. Plenty of mirrors. The only other problem we encountered was that on our last day there was no hot water flowing to take a shower. I contacted Fred and he responded straight away. We tried to figure out what was wrong, but to no avail. It was not a huge problem as the flat is on the same level as the gym and there are showers that we used in there instead. I was also very astonished by the gym facilities. It made me a little sad we did...
