We stayed at the flat for six weeks, including three weeks of London's lockdown.
PROS:
1. Location is great - 15 min walk from Tower Bridge, 20 min walk to the Shard, 5 min walk to the tube station which can take you anywhere!
2. It's a true two bedroom with comfortable beds.
3. The whole building is just three units and all are owned as Airbnb's by the same owners. The building felt very safe.
CONS:
1. The flat could use some updating. There are chips in the paint on furniture, some dishes were not clean, and the furniture felt like it overtook the space.
2. No dishwasher, which was advertised. However, there is a washing machine!!
3. We had HUGE WiFi issues. I had to miss work calls because of bad connectivity. Stela did try to fix this when she was made aware. Eventually, through a mix of a portable router and a service visit on the initial router we were able to work from home successfully but had to have both.
4. The apartment came with some toiletries but we did have to purchase our own toilet paper, dish soap, etc beginning a week into the stay.
If you are considering a stay, I would recommend the flat. Other reviews mentioned lots of noise, maybe it is because we are from NYC but it never bothered us. We slept just fine. The neighborhood is on Brick Lane, historic and interesting but maybe not the best choice if you have young children or are unfamiliar with city life. We did not find it particularly dirty nor did we ever feel unsafe. But London is a city like any other and this is not in an upscale area.
We LOVED going to Spitalfields Market( 5 min walk), and the location in zone 1 can't be beat! The apartment was comfortable for two, I'm not sure it would be great for a larger party for more than a few days. In all - we did end up extending our stay and were happy with the experience.
