Top marks to Rachel. She allowed us to check in early and communicated with us promptly. The apartment itself was ok.
The apartment is as described — nothing fancy but tidy. The appeal is certainly the location between two different tube stops. A highly recommended cocktail bar, Night Jar, is a few blocks away.
This part of the city feels less touristy than staying somewhere further West. It also has a more modern feel. For me, this was potentially a downside of Shore Ditch over staying in another part of town that is more “quintessential” London. However, if you are young and want to go out to bars or want to experience something new in London, I understand Shoreditch is quite popular.
As for the apartment, we had trouble operating some of the radiators for heat. We also ended up leaving early because we had trouble with one of the mattresses and I ended up sleeping on the (quite comfortable) couch a few nights. Rachel was very helpful in sorting out a fair refund through Airbnb.
