My family and I stayed over at Kyle’s flat for one month during the 2021 Year-end Holidays and the flat was in sum exactly as advertised. It worked great for us as the location is in the middle of Shoreditch and very close to the places we wanted to visit. We loved that we could just walk outside and find so many eating and shopping options a few yards away. Our favorite activity was to grab a few bagels for breakfast at the famous Beigel place across the road.
The flat is organized like a studio with a separation between the living area and the sleeping area, noting that the sleeping area is not quite a bedroom. However, this separation was good enough for us and it provided the privacy our family needed. The apartment felt fresh and inviting as it has a clean feel to it, the kitchen and bathroom are modern, and the furnishings and furniture are well laid out and thought out to give a sense of space.
The appliances are modern and worked very well, including the washing machine and a full size-fridge. The microwave is on the smaller side and would be more challenging for larger groups but for 2 of us (and at times 3) it worked ok. The temperature for the shower was fixed and worked well. We loved how well the heating worked, as we are not used to the cold temperatures in Winter in England, and it was wonderful to be in a warm, cozy apartment. The TV has a Roku connector, so it was super easy to watch Netflix and other streaming channels, and this was a plus for us.
We always found that Kyle was easy to reach, and he responded quickly to all our requests. Getting into the property was seamless, as was the checking out process.
The things that we found challenging (particularly on an extended stay like ours) were that there is no dish washer nor clothes dryer. Drying clothes in the winter was not easy and at times we had clothes hanging all over the apartment. Kyle does have access to commercial dryers but the price for this was too high for our budget. Washing dishes by hand was a chore over this extended period, no matter how small our family size was.
Overall, we felt comfortable and happy during our stay at this apartment, we would recommend it and would stay again in the future. We liked the location, the amenities, the layout and fresh feel, and the interactions with Kyle (who was always very responsive, friendly, and willing to help).
