The location is ideal for Shoreditch Tech City, being just a short walk from Old Street and Great Eastern Street.

The views are indeed great. The flat has everything you'd need for an extended stay. Some parts, such as the bathroom and flooring, are really quite tired. Things were clean, with a couple of exceptions: the bedding and towels smelt strongly of not having been dried properly, to the extent that I'm glad I had the choice of two bedrooms.

The flat is in an area that I would have avoided a few years ago. It seemed safe enough but this is very definitely a high rise ex-council flat among similar properties, so be prepared for that. However, that's pretty much what Shoreditch is so it's not a great surprise.

I'm grateful to Claire for accommodating me at short notice.
