Quite a noisy location as the 2 bedroom apartment we stayed in fronted on to Bethnal Green Road. It was very bright and noisy most of the day and night - not much sleep had! Our apartment was a bit grotty, could definitely do with a freshen up in terms of a coat of paint, decor and some fresh cooking utensils - I wouldn't have used the pots and pans to cook a meal for us. The blinds in the bedroom could also do with a good dusting. Another noise factor that contributed to not a lot of sleep was the water pump which continuously kicked in throughout the night, in what felt like every few seconds. Extremely noisy for the bedroom facing GB Rd. Bed linen also has dirty marks across it. One last thing, there are 2 very narrow and steep sets of stairs, with the bathroom and kitchen on the top level and bedrooms on the second level. Not ideal for people who struggle with stairs. A lot of this is stated in the booking description! In saying this, the location was convenient to the tube and Brick Lane and the staff upon check in were very friendly and approachable.
