Unfortunately I have to write a poor review for this property. The photos and the description give the impression that the place is modern, however, in reality it couldn't be further from the truth. Marked white walls and a collection of old rickety stained IKEA furniture pieces does not make a modern property.
As soon as we entered the property there was a smell which was extremely off-putting. Leaving the window open seemed to get rid of it. There was exposed cabling going to sockets and switches. There were plug sockets that simply did not work and the worst offender was the set of sockets hidden behind one of the beds which was falling off the wall and was held back on with tape. This, regrettably, made the electrics feel unsafe to use.
On the matter of cleanliness, the sheets looked clean, but upon closer inspection, some had dirty marks and dried in lumps on the pillow covers. There were random pieces of dirty items which had seemingly been left by other guests including a dirty pair of slippers in the living room. In the bathroom the floor mat was disgusting and clearly had not been washed recently due to the muck that came off of it when lifted.
Similarly, the bathroom felt extremely unclean where there was a shower / bath combo without any type of shower curtain or practical way to shower without getting the place soaking. We didn't even bother to try and have a shower because of this. We were assured before arriving that the place was cleaned by a cleaner, however, going by the colour of the mop in the bathroom it didn't bode well for the rest of the property.
We had no problem with the host who was there to see us into the property upon arrival and who came and went with us on check-in time. Check-out was also extremely easy and we were able to leave at a comfortable time for us. I cannot fault the location as this was great. It was a stone throw away from Bethnal Green underground as well as many local cafes for breakfast.
I must admit that the space was more than enough for a party of 3 people as a third bed has been added to the living room rather than a fold out bed. In conclusion, the property feels thrown together and I feel that a small investment into some modernisation, new bedsheets and deep cleaning is just what it needs to get it right for future guests.
