The location of this flat was excellent! A 7 minute walk to Aldgate underground station allowed us to get anywhere. A 5 minute walk in the other direction got us to a variety of pubs and restaurants, coffee stops, a small grocery store and Spittalfield’s Market. We could easily walk to the Tower of London, the Tower Bridge, and Leadenhall Market. Initially we weren’t sure about the neighborhood as there was a lot of graffiti, but we never felt unsafe and it was very quiet, as was the building itself. I’m not sure if the flat we stayed in was the one pictured as the paint and some of the furnishings were different. We were a bit disappointed that there was only one couch although the photos showed 2 as we’d planned a Christmas Day family movie marathon/game day and ended up having to have a couple of us sitting on the floor. Mostly had everything we needed - could have used a few oven mitts, tongs, washcloths, and blankets. We never had an issue running out of hot water and the water pressure was solid. The flat was warm during the day although it could get a bit chilly overnight. The heater in the bathroom was great in the a.m. While the unit had a washer/dryer combo, we never figured out the dryer. Sometimes it would dry and sometimes it would say it was drying but the clothes would come out wetter than when we started. Having a dishwasher was a bonus. Communication with the manager was great. Overall, there was plenty of room for 4 adults and we were happy with our stay.
