Hello, here's my review for this listing:
1. Prior to check-in you'll be harassed to sign a third party agreement not involving airbnb. I personally was not very comfortable with this request.
2. You'll be advised to inform the "agent" of your ETA 30 minutes in advance, he was late despite my efforts of doing so. It's very cold outside this time of the year.
3. The agent was in a rush and so was the tour, but was kind enough to carry my luggage up the endless flights of stairs and made sure I received and "understood" the house rules and lock instructions.
4. The apartment was dark, cold, and dingy. Although was very bright and pleasant during the day with lovely view of London's skyline. I Can imagine it'll be nice during warm seasons.
5. Wi-fi router was inoperable. I've reported it to the team managing the listing and they were responsive, yet no one showed up to tend to the communicated issues.
6. Expect routine cardio up and down the flights of stairs when receiving deliveries etc.
7. Expect no amenities what so ever, not even complimentary coffee capsules.
8. Bed and couch both stiff and hard, not up to par with the value paid.
9. Access to the apartment involves a passcode, keep a note with you as it is long. If saved on your phone, remember to keep it charged!
10. No proper place to get ready. The bathroom is small, dark and the mirror is not big enough. Also the door doesn't lock. The bedroom is tight and mirror is placed for design purposes only, you'll end up doing hair and make up by moving the night stand and standing by the window.
11. Despite the height of the building, everything on the street is clearly audible and pretty loud, but the team was kind enough to leave a pair of ear plugs for each guest.
12. Ubers find it complicated to find your location/address.
Overall the apartment was spacious and airy. Close to really cool venues if you're planning to explore Shoreditch and Hoxton area.
