The flat is in a great location, but there was no wifi and the shower was stuck on a really hot water setting so showering was really difficult. There was 3 of us staying and we had to make up the sofa lounge but wasn't provided with all the linen we needed to make the bed. It was difficult to find a contact number for the facility management. By the time I found the number to contact them it was late on a Friday and no help was received.

London is a very expensive city to get somewhere to stay, so this was a really good option for the price. Nice neighborhood around the area with a ton of good restaurant choices. Locals are around the area and sometimes during the week days there were farmers markets/stalls for food here too. Great coffee shop nearby. Was a little far from train stations, 10-15 minute walk to get to the main ones like circle line or elizabeth, but again for this price you are not going to get anything better.

The check in was a bit of a faff but otherwise the apartment is really good. The location is great, I know this area a little bit and love going back. There is a supermarket very close by and plenty of bars and restaurants. It is a little rough around the edges when you look closely (some plug sockets have seen better days and the mattress could do with an upgrade) but the apartment is well appointed. You could easily spend a few days here and be very satisfied with your choice of accomodation.

Avoid at all costs. Con artists

Old street- Stay Inn It is awful. Avoid it if you can. Once they have your money, thery will avoid you at all costs. They will not respond to problems after that. Persoanlly: Fridge broken Front door knob broken 2/3 lights in the bathroom don't work Shower head filthy with grime and limescale. You don't get much water out due to this. There is no window in the bathroom so there is a lot of mould built up which has gone dark brown and started to bubble. It looks disgusting. Kick plates around oven broken One bowl only One tea spoon only Chairs in dining room about to break all shake when you sit on them and are lively to collapse. Curtains are really thin so the room is fully light for 4.30am Upstairs are very noisey with a thin wooden floor so you hear loud footsteps and the tv/conversations all night. I got no sleep at all. There is a downpipe running through the bedroom so you are woken up anytime the flats run water or flush the toilet. There is an ventilation unit outside flat 3 that will go on and off through the night to keep you up. The pubs outside are okay as most close around 11 so most of the clear up and customers are gone for 12. There is no lift and a pretty narrow staircase so it is not accessible for impaired or disabled but also pretty difficult if your luggage is heavy. The pillows and bed are hideous. The pillow cases were yellow (I believe they started as white!) The hardest part over and above the lack of sleep and hugh volume of dirt is the lack of

THEY REUINED OUR CHRISTMAS

My friend booked a 2-day stay so we could visit and celebrate Christmas with friends and family we have in London please bear in mind we are travelling from Essex. They cancelled on us on the day of our booking just 10 minutes after our checking-in time while we were 10 mins from the apartment. There is a heartless racist called Amir we had the unfortunate pleasure of dealing with. Their excuse to cancel on us was they didn’t understand why only two people were spending Christmas together and it looked suspicious. We pleaded and pleaded with them to let us stay as it’s Christmas Eve and it will be hard to find another accommodation but they told us it’s not their worry. Please Take Note we have been communicating with them throughout the week including sending our IDs two weeks prior before they decided to cancel. We asked them if they could increase the deposit as we thought it would help with the situation but the manager Amir put the phone down on us and refused to communicate with us any further. He promised we would receive our refund straight away but that was a lie. We have been chasing for a refund and to add insult to injury they are claiming we are not entitled to a refund. How can that be??? They cancelled our booking and we have the whole conversation recorded and now they are refusing to refund us. Customer service is nonexistent and some of them can’t even speak English properly. PLEASE AVOID BOOKING, IT’S A SCAM. Until now they have refused to refund us

Great place to stay

Lovely place to stay, comfortable, clean, good kitchen amenities and nice restaurants nearby. We were concerned by some of the reviews but there was nothing at all to be worried about. Follow the 3 step process as advised a few days before arrival you will get information and access with no problems. Hold was released on our deposits (2 rooms) with 3 working days. We needed bedding for one of the rooms (booked as a 2 but not a couple and we needed the sofa bed), this was arranged promptly… but if you do need the sofa bed it is worth booking as 3 people. At time of our booking it wouldn’t have cost more and would have ensured the bedding was already there. Really friendly and helpful staff on email / phone.
