I don't like to leave bad reviews but I feel there needs to be transparency about this listing, as we did not have a good experience. To start on a good note, the location is excellent - Near Shoreditch high street.
Unfortunately there was construction work taking place directly outside the bedroom window and around apartment which was very intrusive on both a noise and privacy level. We were warned of the scaffolding but assured it would not affect our stay. There were builders right outside bedroom window in the morning! The general condition of the flat was poor. Warning signs in the lift made us feel unsafe.
There is a problem with the plumbing so every time someone opened the water it made an extremely loud noise like a fog horn. Not cool when other guests come home and use the bathroom at 3am. In my view the apartment is not at all suitable for sharing.
