Overall, this was not a bad place to stay in central London. This listing would be perfect for young people who want to eat at restaurants and visit the many bars and clubs in the area. I booked last-minute and was very happy with the no-contact check-in process, Alex and his team make it easy to access the building, which has a dorm-like setup with many identical rooms (the one we had originally booked wasn't ready when we arrived so we were given the option of other rooms in the building). The kitchen has basic equipment, and though it could use a couple items—salt, pepper and a sheet pan for baking, especially—I was able to cook meals during our stay. Also the lighting in the flat was a little harsh but that didn't bother us too much, just would have been nice to have a lamp for some softer light in the evening. Definitely book this place if you've come to Shoreditch for the bars and clubs, which are open late into the night, including the one on the ground floor of the building.
