The good: good location for buses and Old Street/Shoreditch area, room is as described with bed and desk, good value. The less good: the flat has many quirks or things not working properly that Dionne did not warn me about up front or show me how to get around, the room is bare-bones with cheap furnishings and without any small touches that would have been nice (trash can, enough hangers in the closet, space for my things in the bathroom, etc). I didn't feel welcome to use the shared spaces and the kitchen is similarly bare-bones (and not always clean) so I mostly stayed in the room. Response times, even during my stay, were often over 24 hours. Please also note no wifi! Fine as a budget option.
