Depends on what you want
This place is managed by an external agency so the owners are impossible to contact, and I am not sure where the agency is actually located. The apartment is nice and big and bright, and everything looked nicely prepared when we arrived. We were sent an email giving us a welcome pack. It didn't work. It was needed. I am very laid back and don't go about complaining as of a rule, but I will say there were barriers to our enjoyment and as there was no one intimate with the property to speak with, and no manual to explain, it was a bit of a pain in the neck. There were no tea towels for example. The cooker was next to impossible to operate as all the markings were rubbed off. The TV didn't work properly so relaxing in the evening was more me ringing the agency than just sitting down, relaxing and getting what I had paid for.
I did ask the agency for some for of compensation reflecting this but never heard back from them. And I think that is the issue. The owners should really have some sort of connection with this place. And they don't.
Having said that, if you want to experience "trendy East London", it is perfectly spaced. And the place does have a lot going for it. So hence my three stars.
