The space is accurate as described in Lola’s written words. The location is very good and local to Liverpool station, Aldgate East, and a majority of the bus lines you’d need to get around London. If you’re not planning on being in the space other than just for nighttime sleeping, this spot is perfect!
I had a smooth check in process but there are several things that folks should be aware of when booking this place:
- the room looks small bc it actually is, as accurate to Lola’s description
- if a good shower experience is important to you, you might want to look somewhere else as the water pressure is super low and temperature is difficult to control (Lola walks you thru how you should use the shower)
- the stairs inside the flat are steep, narrow, and slippery. be wary and go slow if you’re wearing socks inside especially if you’re a bigger person or are generally clumsy (I’m the latter)
My stay here was great with the exception for the last night. I wanted to get an early night in and slept at 9 pm but was woken up by a door slamming when one of the flat mates got back home. This, combined with a thing wall that separates the room with the shower meant I got little sleep. This technically happened before the 12 am quiet hours as set by Lola. I should have texted/comminuted that I wanted an early night as Lola is responsive but honestly it just didn’t occur to me.
All in all, a good stay for a solo traveler. I feel like it was a bit expensive for what the stay was but the location is central. Next time I think I would pay an extra 10 or 15 pounds a night for a bit of extra comfort but this definitely did the job!
