Fantastic flat on Brick Lane. The flat has two exposures to the street so when its noisy on the street, you hear it. That said, the fan provided does help cancel out the noise. Living area is much better than average - the kitchen and table are far more functional than a desk in a hotel room, both for eating and for working. Would stay again for sure on a future visit.
One caution - there is no AC in the flat. It was slightly uncomfortable the first day, but the cross wind thru the windows helped cool the place down reasonably well in the evening. It was unseasonably hot that day. The remaining days were seasonal and the unit was perfect.
