Brilliant location – just 5 minute walk from Liverpool Street Station. Couldn’t have been better.
Clean, spacious apartment with two bedrooms, bathroom and lounge/kitchen. Balcony where you could sit and watch the world go by.
The apartment was very well appointed with a comfortable large couch with plenty of cushions and two easy chairs. Everywhere was clean and modern.
Our hosts had very kindly left milk, bread, biscuits, fizz, beer and soft drinks for us which was very generous and very handy.
The beds were very comfortable indeed with light quilts.
Both bedrooms had drawer space but unfortunately the cupboards in each room were full and there was no hanging space for our clothes. If there had been, unfortunately there were no hangars available to hang our clothes on, so we resorted to spreading them around the apartment on the back of chairs, on the table and on the ironing board. I made good use of the ironing board and also the hairdryer.
The curtains in both bedrooms were very good at keeping the light out apart from the tops where the light came in. I suggest getting two pelmets for the tops which will keep the light out.
At night, the lights are on outside all the time and it was difficult to
The bathroom was clean with a shower over the bath with a shower curtain. Unfortunately, the shower wasn’t very powerful. When you switched the tap on full, the high pressure was hot, which was great, but too hot to shower with so when you turned the hot to cooler, the pressure got less and less until it wasn’t much more than a trickle so you had to stand right under the showerhead to get wet. I ended up washing my hair in the kitchen sink where the water pressure was really powerful and halved the time it took to wash my hair under the shower in the bathroom. Not very good at all, I’m afraid.
We were given plenty of towels to use – hand and bath, but unfortunately when these got wet, they smelt very musty, as if they’d been stored when still damp. I’ve done this before and had to rewash the towels to remove the smell.
It took us a while to fathom out the TV but eventually managed to watch the Jubilee celebrations which is why we came to London.
It was very easy to contact our hosts to confirm payment, directions to the property, where to get the keys to the property and also we asked Cynan for recommendations for eating/drinking in the area. He very kindly gave us a full list of places in and around Spitalfields which was really useful and we made good use of it.
We would certainly recommend this accommodation for anyone wanting to explore the area and we would certainly come back again.
