The flat was very much as described and shown on the photos. Roomy enough for a couple and two kids on the air mattress. Appliances worked ok, though there were minor issues, like a broken drawer in the fridge. I would suggest the host supplies basics like napkins and cleaning towel as well as extra toilet paper just for convenience. Not used to the railing lockbox, placed some 2 minutes from the flat, but it worked out fine. Location is excelllent: 5 minutes from the Aldgate East underground, buses to the City of London area right around the corner. Lots of small supermarkets close.
