Quite a standard property with a few issues which could be resolved by the owners and some other issues which you should be aware of before you decide to stay here.
Bear in mind that this flat is not in the best neighbourhood; it is located right beside a block of social housing and is part of what was the historic slums of London. Most evenings there were tours in the streets below showing tourists sites accepted with Jack the Ripper. Coming back at night can be a little bit intimidating as the streets can be a little dark. I would not recommend this if you are alone.
On one occasion we noticed there were two men staking out the building and waiting to get to the communal area when someone left the front door open. I later saw the same men sneaking in through this entrance and presumably attempting to gain access to someones flat. This was of course very frightening for my partner.
On a positive note there is a great food market in the street bellow the flat where I had some of the best falafel I've ever had. It is also not far from Brick Lane which has some great vintage shops and restaurants on it. The nearest tube station is not that far so getting to any other part of the city is quite quick and easy.
I have to say that the quality of the building is quite low and because of this you can hear all of the neighbours through the walls(one of whom has a dog which barks occasionally). The front door of the property is very difficult to open and you will be stuck there for upwards of 10 minutes. All of the fixtures are stuck on in such a way that they are designed to be taken off quickly, because of this many things fell down during our stay including the shower curtain which is nearly fixed in place and very weak. The shower also is difficult to get warm. I have reason to suspect that the flat was perhaps at one trip occupied also by a mouse as the wood at the bottom of the kitchen sink was broken and looked like it had perhaps been gnawed.
The space itself is pretty big and it would be fine to work there (as I did for a day) however the wifi is not reliable and it would be best if an Ethernet cable was installed to correct this.
The flat is not someone’s home but rather it is administrated by a company that, to be fair, is very quick to respond to queries and very helpful.
Overall I don't believe I would stay in the property again whilst on holidays but if you are on a budget and need easy access to the city or East London then this is a good option.
