On the negative side:
- This development has been built about ten years ago and it would need some little improvements and general maintenance (e.g. refershing the walls and ceiling or the carpet), but overall I found it in good conditions.
- The flat is quite small for a family, although well equipped, so don’t expect a penthouse!
- There is no lift so you will have to walk up the two flights of stairs to reach the apartment, therefore not recommended if you have any mobility impairment.
- Although when I visited the flat was relatively clean, I felt it was a bit stuffy, this is one of my pet hates and I found it too hot (visited in February) not sure how is it in summer.
The positives:
- Although it would be quite difficult to park in this area (as it is for residents only) you wont have this problem as the flat has underground parking included on the price so you can rent a car at the airport and drive into London if you don’t mind the traffic!
- This is a very central area in East London, close to the actions of the Olympics but at the same time in a relatively quiet area. All facilities you need are around you and a small supermarket is just under the building and is open until 1.00am for you last minute suppers! You are at walking distance from the famous Bricklane and the financial centre of the City is a bit further away.
- If you don’t like walking or you are in a rush, the underground is very close at less than 5 minutes walking from the property
- The flat is a living in apartment so you’ll have all kitchen utensils and a little table where to eat, and all facilities you might think of such as cleaning tools, washing machine and so on.
- The house is equipped with Wi-Fi, during my visit I tested it (screenshot attached) and it reached almost the whopping 30Mbps!
Summarising this is a great accommodation in a great location, very close to the Olympic area and with all facilities you might desire. You are never far away from any tourist site with Bethnal Green station conveniently very close. If you are travelling with your family, although this is not recommended for families with babies, it is great for toddlers as the flat is withing walking distance of Victoria park and the newly opened playground area with all attractions for toddlers and children (all for free)!
