Will's apartment is in a great location, close to Brick Lane and public transport. He was great with communication and was flexible with my multiple alterations to my travel dates and also meeting me for check-in a little bit earlier than originally planned due to a change in my plans.
The apartment itself is quite basic but functional, and very secure with 3 locked doors between the street and the apartment. The community at the complex is great and I enjoyed many conversations over a beer with residents in the central courtyard area.
My only issue was that I was told the bathtub had a leak that the downstairs neighbours complained about, and hence a second shower curtain was placed at the back of the bathtub, making showering a little bit awkward due to having two curtains on both sides of you in close proximity. The bathtub also seemed to take a while to drain after having a shower.
Other than that, it did the job. All in all, what you see is what you get. This isn't a nicely furnished trendy Airbnb nor does it pretend to be. As someone who was out every day and just looking for a place to sleep at night it met my expectations.
