I met Nadia very briefly to collect the keys, she was on time and communicated well.

The flat itself is a lot less impressing. Whilst the photos are not necessarily misleading, they do make the flat look a lot cleaner, brighter and nicer generally.
The room itself smelt of mould, which was far from ideal.

The location is why we decided to stay here, as it is minutes away from Haggerston station, and a short walk away from the bars and nightlife in Dalston. I also appreciate that we were able to arrange at a short notice.

The atmosphere in the house was very unfriendly and generally quite awkward. Whilst of course Nadia was not there herself, and not responsible for this, it lead us to want to hurry and leave, and interact as little as possible, I avoided using the kitchen to avoid this strange atmosphere.
My partner had a small issue with one of the guy's who told him to not smoke on the balcony despite the balcony door being closed, then told him to move to the front door, when my partner did this he locked the door behind him. It was strange and awkward, so much so that we were very happy to leave.
I'm also wondering why one might agree to such a set up then behave that way, correction why two might agree then behave that way.

If you do decide to stay, it might be better to stay in the summer, in order to open the bedroom window to have some fresh air.
