The apartment was better than I expected. Its exactly as per the photos, but in reality much better. Old beautiful building. Lotsa light as windows everywhere (feels like a corner apartment). Its bigger than photos suggest. Clean. Functionally very well done which is what impressed me. Barry has put alot of thought and care into the fittings and fixtures he has installed. e.g. the shower is great, and the kitchen is a fully functioning and attractive new kitchen with everything you need. There is nothing missing. I was very comfortable during my 5 day stay.
The area was good too, as 3min walk to Stepney Green Tube which is very efficient launching pad to anywhere in city (plus heaps of buses and citybikes).
The only negatives are that there was no WIFI, however Barry was very commercial in finding a temporary solution for me (think he is in the process of doing a permanent one). Plus, Barry's response times to messages sent to him during stay could be slightly improved, tho think he had wifi issues himself during my stay - it didn't ultimately inconvenience me.
