The apartment was more or less as described. It's in a pretty rough part of London but there was a bus stop outside the door, and a 5 minute walk to a DLR station, which meant getting into other parts of London was easy. We were told we were in Flat 4 but apparently this was changed to Flat 2. This was communicated to me via my Australian email when I was already in London. We therefore moved into Flat 4 totally unaware that it had been changed. Getting up 6 flights of narrow stairs to this flat was the worst part of the holiday, particularly when carrying bags. I'd had relatively recent knee surgery and it was a painful experience.
We were also told that the resident in Flat 3 had complained about the noise we made which was pretty annoying. My young daughter and I were in bed by 7.30 pm every night for two weeks so I really didn't understand this.
We had been told via email the wifi code and password but this was wrong. It was only on the second day that we noticed a rather scruffy note on a noticeboard on the stairwell the correct details.
One irritation was that there was absolutely no toilet paper when we arrived. It had taken 40 hours to get there from our home in remote Australia and we were absolutely shattered. Nevertheless, our first task was to find a shop and buy some.
The dining chairs were rickety with several bolts missing (later found in the cutlery drawer). They required a special tool to tighten so we just didn't use them.
Despite the above, the flat was as described, comfortable and had good cooking facilities. A cheap coffee maker would have been a great addition.
