I spent a lovely week in London staying in Jaime and Max’s flat with my husband and my 2 children )15yo and 11yo).
The entrance is on Banner Street not Whitecross (which the flat windows overlook), which may explain the trouble in finding mentioned in other comments. But once you know this,am sure there is no trouble finding the flat and the keys.
It is ideally located to visit London, with plenty of nice little spots for coffees and eating nearby. The 2 closest tube stations are each 15min distance from the flat giving easy access to plenty of different London spots ! It’s walking distance to reach the canal near de Beauvoir crescent for a long sunny walk to Camden and Primrose Hill, it’s 15min to Brick Lane and 20mins to reach St Paul’s and cross over to the Tate. All very easy and walkable.
The flat itself really feels homey and personal. It may be a very regular “airbnb” rental, but it’s managed to keep some of it’s “live in flat” feel- still very cosy and we really liked that about it. The living room (main space) is very enjoyable with a nice airy height, windows and plants- we liked coming back “home” after a long day out and about, and enjoyed an evening-in, watching a movie together in that large sofa!
There were minor issues which were swiftly taken care of (wifi connexion was poor at the beginning, a tap was dripping and the shower head was a bit old) , apart from the dishwasher which was unusable, but am sure that’s fixed now.
My one big criticism is that this flat should not advertise a second room with double bedding. The sofa bed in the small room is tiny (barely a one person and my 11yo daughter is petite) and it’s in a poor state (with iron bars and pokey edges making it a miserable solution for anyone’s back). Since the communication with the people in charge was easy, we slept our 15yo son in the large sofa in the living room but you should know this if you rent for more than 2 people.
So overall a great stay with just this one downside that’s really an easy fix!
