Myself, girlfriend and friend were in town for the American baseball game. It was a quick Uber ride over to the stadium. We used the overground at Haggerston every day we were there to get right down to the sightseeing locations. I was able to do a load of laundry while there. One thing we noticed on the final night which would have helped us was that the bedrooms windows actually open. London was having their hottest day and we did have two fans but knowing they opened earlier would have been beneficial. Shame on us meatheads. Beds are very comfortable. There are uk adapters for charging your phones if you are from the US. There is a grocery store right in the building basically. Always felt safe. Check in and check out were painless. All in all a great place and great location to shoreditch and other areas.
