Art Deco Studio in East London

Great location - quiet and peaceful

Curtains didn’t fully close !

Light and airy, clean bedsit. Good communication with owner via messenger. Mattress protector on the bed, which is always important to me. Just a sheet on the mattress is a big no no. So thankfully there was one at this venue. Simple kitchen with small hob and oven and the smallest sink in a kitchen ever :) washing machine and microwave. Clothes rack in cupboard so wash at night and hang for dry and clean clothes the next morning. Its on a main road so not quiet, but not a problem for me. Good quality bedding and nice big towels. Close to lots of bus routes and a short walk from shops and 2 overground stations. Would I stay again. Big yes. Especially if shower and TV sorted.

TV just a monitor so have to createvand remove logging to apps through Feeeview. So ended up watching TV on my Ipad which wasn't ideal. Am sure a simple plug in 15 quid ariel would sort that. Impressive shower head was looking forward to a bracing shower...but comes out at a dribble, so used the hand held which was good pressure spayed with anti lime scale but think the inside needs descaling or a simple fix would be to replace the head. Not a problem to me, but one thing others might note is to get into the building there's around 50 external stone steps. And the flat is on the first floor with no lift so if have mobility issues or luggage please be aware.

Right in the middle of bustling Hackney, near public transport, shops, cafes. A lovely studio. Had a great stay.

An interesting building, which is why I chose over other properties in the area, but once in the studio, it was let down a little by the feeling that is was unloved and being used as a housekeeping storeroom

Keys were collected from a shop across the road, and were a big bunch of keys which seemed to belong to someone else and not just the property. The kitchen was shabby, with cupboard fronts off, a mix of tired looking utensils and grubby pans. The bedding was so incredibly thin, it could hardly be called a duvet, and made from cheap materials. The wardrobe was filled with bedlinen drying on hangers, with lots of odd housekeeping and decorating items. If they needed a store cupboard, it would be better if this was all neat and tidy at one end, and not spread across whole cupboard, it felt like I was staying in a housekeeper's storeroom. The water was extremely hot, with no mixer tap on basin. The shower was terrible ~ either a freezing dribble or a scalding dribble. My stay in London was to ensure I was well rested and fresh for work in the morning ~ I was neither. I also tried to drop keys off at 9am, and the shop was shut ~ I put through hole in shutters, not know if this was safe.
