Pros: The flat is well presented and clean, recently refurbished. Beds were comfy, nice linen and towels. Shower and heating worked perfectly. The kitchen had everything that you need and is close enough to shops, restaurants and the tube station.
Cons:
- Instruction on picking up the key wasn´t particularly easy to follow. The key to the flat was tied to a lock-box on a bike stand in the middle of the street which we were not aware of at the time of booking, very dodgy in our opion, plus we were unable to open the box as instructed so had to call Sibs to assist us, she sent us to an off-license with a code to pick up an alternative key which made more sense in the first place.
- The flat itself is above Electric Avenue which is a very noisy street and the entrance is through the back via a very dirty and smelly alleyway.
- They have markets there every day and set up stalls with metal scaffolding from about 6/7am. and you hear everything.
- There are 2 bedrooms, one in the back which is relatively quiet and one in the front of the flat facing Electric Avenue, unfortunately our friend who was staying with us in that room didn´t get much sleep in 3 days, being woken up through out the night due to the loud noises outside and in the early morning with them setting up the market.
In general the experience was not bad, the flat is good but whoever is going to stay there be aware of the cons mentioned above.
