Consideration for our and future guests

Front entry horrible smell just not due to daily garbage. Entry to unit needs carpet stains cleaned up from dragged drippy garbage. Windows and balcony unacceptable cleanliness standards. Laundry great. Bathroom great. Linens clean. This is not a unit conducive for even three adult people. Sleeping on the floor is unacceptable even though there was a love seat and rollaway cot. Be prepared for numerous emergency vehicle's and revved up motorcycles throughout the night. Nice small grocery close by and walking distance caffes, bars, pubs, buses and transit.Right at London Bridge!

Second Stay - good place, but bare and poor check-in

I had booked this property for two trips, with this one being too close to the first one for me to adjust. Oh well, got into the no refund zone and left early anyway. Just too uncomfortable to want to finish this stay. Not holding the refund against the host... it is what it is. This is a nice apartment a minute from Aldgate East. It is REALLY close. You pass the Leman Locke B st Suites on the way there (better option IMHO). If this host would figure out a better way to check in, it could be closer to 5 stars. To get to 5 they would need to decorate and get a few missing things in the place, like a trivet, oven mits, coat rack near door, extra blankets/sheets... things that make it a vacation rental and not an apartment cell like you are under house arrest. It is still a 4 star place, nothing bad about it, just what the pictures show.

Barebones Apartment really close to Aldgate East

I chose this apartment due to its location and the two minute walk to Aldgate East. It really is that close... However, Leman Locke - B St Apartments are right next door to this, and they have a receptionist, at the same daily rate. Go with a location where they actually GREET YOU when you arrive. That is main reason I gave this place 4 stars and not 5, however, there are two other reasons for 4 stars. 1. Nothing on the walls... and I mean NOTHING. This place is not lived in, it is rented to Vrbo. No one has ever really lived in this apartment for more than a stay. Why,? not 1 painting on the walls, nothing absorbing the sound that echo's out of the kitchen and into the foyer... It is not a really bad echo, and the building really is quiet inside, but no style, nothing. 2. Furnishings - there are enough places for three to sit. 3. not four, 3. They do have a cot in the closet, so you can convert the living room into a cot room, then where do you sit? in the Folding chair at the dining table that is just barely big enough for 3 people... more like 2. Also, I had to work a couple afternoons and there is no real chair with back support, like an office chair, however, I am not holding that against them for 4 stars since the images never offered that. would be nice though. Positives: -Lots of pots, pans and a coffee press with a hot pot. -Full fridge/freezer so you can save some money cooking in. -Enough plates and silverware for two meals per day (all mix and match from a thrift store which cracks me up). -Dishwasher - worked well, not too loud, we started then went out for the day or evening. -Bed in a bag - if you like that... there is a blanket in the closet that I used. Need more sheet/blanket options. -Lighting is pretty good - only light out was stove top light with fan, but area lights made up for it. -Windows and fan - you will need these, figure out how to open the windows and let the air in... I am not a fragrance person, and the detergent used needed to be aired out twice a day. some might like that... but not me. Had the sewage smell one afternoon that someone else mentioned. Final word- The entry process makes this location a 'never stay here again'. Having to tailgate into the mailroom... then have me stick my hand in a letter box to fish out the key is NOT a secure way to hand off occupancy, let alone being asked to use WhatsApp for messages over Vrbo. In the end, I did not feel welcomed, only allowed.

A Very Good Way Station

This apartment was nearly perfect for me, one adult male, and I'm sure it would be the same for a couple. It had all the amenities and no silly frills, like bad decoration on the walls. As a big plus, it was plenty warm, which is not always the case in short term rentals. The elevator was efficient and the neighborhood burgeoning with more appealing restaurants than I could possibly sample, including the exceptional Ottolenghi and St. John Bread and Wine, both within easy walking distance. Indeed, you could eat yourself to death (I nearly did) at the nearby Spitalfields market and the huge Eataly (bigger and better than the one in Florence, believe it or not). Best of all is the terrific access to both the Aldgate East and Aldgate (and even Monument, if you want) Tube stations. You're anywhere in London toute se suite. No place is perfect, not my home or yours and this stay would have been enhanced by an early visit by the owner to explain the devices and give a quick tutorial on them.

Not very good

The good: It was close to aldgate east tube for central line and it was close to the Tower of London Not so good: Television didn't work and I called property owner to fix and it didn't happen. I made a list of things that needed to be fixed or what I didn't like. A couple of the drape slats were missing. One drape was missing the cord to close the slats. Furnishings were marginal No one at the complex to help out if there is a question. No written instructions on what to do with the trash etc. when leaving. Or how to use the key. Internet said low security so I didn't use. One elevator didn't work and there was trash in the other.

Great location in London, close to everything

First things first - if you are going to rent this flat to be in the city, you have to be prepared for all that goes along with inner-city life. That includes lot of noise from construction, sirens, neighbors, etc. We came prepared with earplugs, but this is just a caveat, and certainly nothing the owner has any control over. The flat itself was perfect for our needs. It had ample space and was well-appointed with a well-stocked kitchen, a washer, a large bathroom, and plenty of furniture. Since I needed to work remotely during a portion of the time there I was delighted to be able to use a desk setup to be able to get my work done. As for the location, we were within a few blocks walk of four grocery stores, which allowed us to be able to prepare meals at our flat as needed. Both the Aldgate and Aldgate East tub stations were a short walk away, which made getting around the city a breeze. We especially liked that we were within walking distance of a number of attractions, such as the Tower Bridge, the Shard (which can be seen from the deck), the Sky Garden and the War of the Worlds Experience (a must see if you are a fan of the H.G. Welles classic, and especially if you are familiar with the Jeff Wayne musical adaptation). In addition to grocery markets the flat is within walking distance of numerous pubs, higher end eating establishments, and fun shopping experiences such as Petticoat Lane market and Spitalfields. As for downsides, in addition to the noise factor we really only encountered a few more nuisances. First, we brought Nespresso coffee pods, but the Nespresso coffee machine was non-functioning. To the owner's credit he was unaware of the being an issue, so may been a recent issue. The kitchen was stocked with a French press, so we were still able to enjoy our coffee. Secondly, almost every utensil, cup, plate and pan in the kitchen needed to be washed. Again, this may have been the work of the previous occupant putting dirty dishes away, as the rest of the flat was spotless. Finally, we did encounter a strong, sulphuric smell in the bathroom that lasted a day and a half. This coincided with similar smells outside, so may have been an issue with the London sewers. One thing to keep in mind is that the key fob is needed for entry into the building through two separate doors before getting to the room, so it does take some coordinating if 2+ people will be out at the same time. All in all, we enjoyed our stay here.

Great location, apartment ok

We had a lovely London holiday in this well located apartment. The apartment is basically ok, but unfortunately the cleaning service hadn't really done its job well beforehand (when we arrived, the laundry was still hanging in the living room, the laundry from the previous guests was still in the washing machine... Well, we were allowed to do that arrive a few hours earlier... Unfortunately, the coffee pod machine didn't work (we then reported the damage to the host) and the kitchen was sparsely furnished (e.g. only two cutlery knives, but it was enough for the two of us). The comfortable bed and the nice rain shower were great. The small balcony was also practical and we used it a lot. Communication with the host worked perfectly via Whatsapp (unfortunately he wasn't there in person).

things that could improve

When we first got to the place we couldn't get in. Our key was left in the mail box but you needed it to get in. Finally a guy came out and we got in. There was a code box but we didn't have the number. Also we couldn't work the tv for two days till we finally got a note telling us what to do. Had a couple of other issues but they got taken care of quite quickly. Other than that the place was great. Location fantastic. Maybe a note to explain a few things would help.

Our experience was easy… easy check-in, easy check-out, great communication with owner, and it had everything we needed. Most importantly, it’s within 3 minutes walk from Aldgate East tube station and under 10 minutes from Aldgate tube and Liverpool Street Station tube. Would recommend for anyone!

Great Location for Visiting London

Basic, but clean and perfect for a visit to London. Just a couple minutes walk to the train and a short ride to all the top tourist sites, or a 15-20 minute walk to London/Tower bridges, etc. Lots of nearby restaurants, bars etc. and Brick Lane a few blocks over is fantastic to stroll and enjoy an Indian restaurant for dinner. Owner was communicative and friendly.
