The location is amazing! If you’re visiting London for a long weekend, this is the place to be. It’s close to the Brick Lane markets, and you could spend an entire day walking the area to spot incredible murals, shop for vintage clothes and art, eat from food stalls, and find cool specialty shops to browse through.
Alex was extremely helpful in check in and very kind- the lines I planned to take on the tube were closed on my arrival date, but she gave alternative and was kind about my delays.
The room is huge and could comfortably hold two people with large suitcases, if necessary. It being on the ground floor was very convenient when I had heavy bags. It felt secure and safe, as there were several doors with locks between you and the street outside. The bed was comfortable, and there were plenty of extra toiletries in the bathroom if you needed them. Alex had plenty of food in the fridge and cabinet for breakfasts or snacks.
The street outside can have some noise typical of living in a large city, so if you’re used to absolute silence, you may want to bring ear plugs for a Saturday night (when the area is busy with bar-goers). It was not a problem for me and didn’t keep me up during my stay.
Overall, this was a great find. I’d love to stay here again if I’m in London!
