I want to write an accurate review that would have deterred me from booking this flat.
Pros:
- Very close to Hoxton overground station and not far from super hip Shoreditch. We were able to get to the city easily.
Cons:
- This flat is in a complex called Hackney Homes which is or was part of a social housing complex. This would have been good to know. The interior hallways were dingy and dark, the elevator never arrived and it was really a shabby building. I wish I’d known this before I booked as I’d have chosen another flat.
- It was very difficult to find - you must watch the videos and even then, finding the flat was still unreasonably challenging the first time.
- We found the flat unclean and very cluttered with personal belongings. Everything from open food on a dirty kitchen counter to used soap in the bathroom. The wet laundry was still hanging in the living room and it hadn’t been vacuumed.
- The second bed is a smaller size that even a 15 year old found short.
Overall:
- I would not have booked this flat if I’d known what I was getting into: shabby overall and wholly unprepared for guests of any kind.
