We arrived for check-in about 20 minutes early but were happy to wait until 3pm. Freddie was kind enough to check us in slightly early. The apartment is conveniently located, walking distance to Spitalfields and Shoreditch.
However, the stay was disappointing overall. Cleanliness was poor and we could hardly take a proper shower.
After check-in and after the cleaner had left, the apartment was in disarray. e.g. bedsheets hanging off the toilet door and living room chairs, boxes and bags on the sofas, and a fridge that had stains and rotten food. Freddie promptly neatened the apartment and cleaned the fridge after we wrote to him.
As for the showers, the water was either too hot or too cold. Freddie said to "press the middle button" which we did, but that didn't change things. When we wrote to him to say the shower has stopped working, he responded to say, "No they haven't" and did not offer any help, solution or alternatives.
We ended our stay early. Before checking out, Freddie asked us to clean the bathroom because it was wet and he said that this was "unacceptable". We did not use the showers that morning.
