The apartment was crazy cute in the trendy Shoreditch neighborhood. It was very close to Tesco/grocery store and nightlife. Lots of towels, a washing machine, little patio that we sat out on daily. It was also happily situated between the London Overground and Underground.
Debbie was in contact with us from the moment we booked the flat several months prior to our reservation. She provided detailed instructions on how to find the flat. She was accommodating in providing us with a parking pass when some friends visited from Derbyshire.
Debbie gives you a walk through of the flat upon arrival and has a detailed list of instructions in case you have any questions about the workings of the flat such as use of the shower, location of extra towels, recycling, Internet, etc.
We spent a lot of time just hanging around with friends, catching up on some Zzzzs, and being lazy after a tiring week in Paris. The little flat felt like home and my companions and I felt we had our own person space.
It was fun wandering the local Shoreditch area. We walked to the Gherkin, easily traversed to Regent's Canal for a stroll. Tesco was just across the street and Sainsbury was located on the way back from Old Street Station.
We did have an incident in which our friends had a bicycle stolen from on top of their car. To this I would say it was our own fault. There is an elevator that could have accommodated the bikes up to the 5th floor and we could have placed them on the private patio area. I think my friends assumed their locks were burglar proof. We informed Debbie that we filed a police report and she was prompt in response to ensure this would not occur to future guests.
Otherwise we had a great time. We cooked in the kitchen almost twice a day. Watched tv. Lounged.
