When we first arrived the exterior of the building and the common areas (elevator etc) were a bit of a shock. Built as estate flats, and looking a quite run down, it was not a great first impression. Luckily the interior of the flat made up for it. The interior was clean and spacious and the view of London was great. We enjoyed being near the park and an easy walk to cafes, pubs and the hustle and bustle of Shoreditch. Unfortunately, the freezer was still broken when we arrived and through out our 9 day stay nothing was done about it. The check in process was fairly straight forward and we enjoyed the area, despite a sour first impression.
