Quirky 3 Bedroom Flat In Shoreditch

Photos make the place look great but disappointed when arriving to see the building we where staying in.

6.0

The property had 3 bedrooms that is hard to find in London

− The owner does not put a picture of the building block where the flat is located. It is old and very cramped for 3 people. We stayed when the weather was 30 degrees, the apartment was crazy hot with no fans, the only was to cool Down was to open the windows to the crazy noise of London nightlife.

I don't know what to say

The place is near Liverpool street station and a Tesco is 5 minutes away, with a local shop like 2 minutes from it which was convenient. It looks like the kitchen is newly renovated which makes cooking and dishwashing easy. Loads of plates and cutlery. They even provided a blow dryer and iron. The Living room was spacious with Working TV and Wifi. The decor was nice.

− Well for starters the main door locks were very dodgy. For my peace of mind i did place our luggage by the door. Each room door does not have a working lock so we had to use a door stopper just to close it or our shoe ,which was not a big deal to be honest as we were a family. The window on one of the bedrooms could not be opened fully and the temprerature when we stayed was 27C so we were baking inside. I had to wedge one of my jumper to keep the window open. The toilet and bath are separate. The bath had so much mold on the ceiling, The Bathroom had a photo but the toilet does not, and i think there is a reason for it, Because the toilet was by the entrance and it was so small, you dont have enough space to reach for your toilet paper and the cleaning stuff was just by your foot. The Floor needs to be revamped! The linoleum was stained and so grimey it literally felt like i did not want to walk barefoot anywhere and yes Please do not as the Floor in one of the bedroom has got 3 nails sticking out! The flooring by the kitchen is a trip hazard! The bed was not comfortable no back support.

OK for the price. Or is it?

The property is well located in a vibrant neighborhood. It was very clean and came with all amenities.

− As can be expected for a property in London, it is rather small to accommodate 6 people. Although very clean and with some recent improvements, such as a new kitchen, recent wall painting or tile work in the bathroom, it needs some additional work to be perfect: the linoleum flooring in the kitchen, bathroom and toilets is very old and ought to be replaced; the walls in the toilets should be throughly cleaned and the ceiling in the bathroom repainted. Furthermore, changing the shower hose is a requirement, and adding a few wall hooks in the bathroom would be helpful. Last, some additional finishing and some small repairs would make the experience better.

Great location

We loved the location of the property, the property had a key fob access so it was secure. The Flat is located so close to the train station it was like a 2 minute walk away ( we didn't hear any trains) flat was in a quiet location and the local shops for Shoreditch High Street was 5 minute walk away. we managed to find a food/ desserts/ clothing market a 10 minute walk from the property. Along the Shoreditch High Street, we came across the Van Gogh immersive exhibition which was a fun experience ,The bedrooms at the property was a good size, The rooms and decor looked just like the pictures advertised and the Flat was warm and clean, there was plenty of toilet roll, plenty of plates, glasses and had everything you need.

− The bedding smelt really really bad and some of the decor needs revamping as it's showing signs of wear and tear / no handles on the bedside cabinets.

It was a nice stay
