I had a really good stay in Sophie's apartment. The apartment is modern and well equipped. Fully stocked modern kitchen, the internet was fast and stable, the bed was comfy and even had the option of a heated blanket which was a nice touch.
The apartment has its own large private outdoor balcony with plenty of chairs and cosy spots to chill in the sun or get air which was nice.
If you look up Monohaus online you'll get an idea of the building. There's cafes, coffee shops and restaurants attached which was nice. The apartment has a safe private-ish side entrance away from the main building door which was very convenient and perfect for coming and going.
The area is fantastic with many food options and restaurants right on your doorstep, with London Fields, Victoria Park and overground within walking distance. Great spot for East London.
I never met the host, but Sophie was very friendly and communicative with fast responses and great to deal with. I picked up the key from the concierge with zero issues, and she was incredibly helpful and accommodating when checking in.
The only thing I'd change would be to have curtains or blinds on the balcony window doors in the living room and bedroom for the extra layer of privacy and to keep the light out if needed, as the big windows and glass doors didn't have these during my stay, which means a lot of natural light, but if you plan to be out all day this probably won't be an issue for you.
Overall it was a great stay in a great location and I'd recommend it for anyone looking for a base in East London.
