Hyvää: Siisteys
Huonoa: Palvelut/mukavuudet ja majoituspaikan kunto ja tilat
First, the positives: This apartment is right downtown, close to Brick Lane, Sky Garden, Tower of London, and many other attractions. Check in was easy, and communication was excellent. The bed inside the room is very comfortable. And there are multiple grocery stores nearby, which made it convenient for us as parents of a child with severe allergies (we need to do all of our own cooking, a fact I should have mentioned).
On the down side: the neighbourhood was noisy and chaotic. Every day someone was either being arrested or a fight was breaking out below our windows. There were scores of ambulances, due to a hospital being nearby. The kitchen seemed to be designed for show; with super cheap pots and no spatula or other basic implements, cooking was difficult. When I asked for a veggie peeler I was told (very nicely) that they didn't have one. It would have been good business to spend the 90 p on a cheap peeler and drop it off. The shower seems to have been made for little people, and the tub is treacherous to stand in, especially if you intend to turn around. The bathroom is kept ridiculously hot, like a sauna, and none of our attempts to turn the rad down worked. Lastly, the cheap Ikea sofa beds in the main room were horribly uncomfortable and left our daughter with a bad back. Many things could be improved to make this apartment stay a better experience. But I guess this is what you get for the price we paid. A lesson in London values, for sure.
