Overview
First Impressions
Walking up to FT4 Brick Lane Apartment, you’ll immediately notice you’re staying right in the heart of one of London’s most vibrant neighborhoods. This three-star apartment sits on the famous Brick Lane itself — you know, the street that’s basically synonymous with incredible curry houses and street art. The building has that classic East London character, and honestly, the location alone makes this place worth considering.
The Space
The flat itself is compact but thoughtfully arranged — exactly what you’d expect from a proper London apartment. There’s a decent-sized bedroom that actually fits more than just a bed (which isn’t always a given in this city), and the living area has enough space to spread out after a day of exploring. The kitchen is small but functional — I mean, you can definitely cook a proper meal if you want to save some money on eating out every night.
Location & Neighborhood
Here’s where this place really shines: you’re literally on Brick Lane. Step outside and you’re surrounded by some of the best curry restaurants in London — Aladin and Shampan are both within a two-minute walk. The street art changes constantly, so there’s always something new to photograph. Liverpool Street station is about a 10-minute walk, which puts you within easy reach of the rest of London.
What Makes It Work
The apartment feels more like staying in a local’s place than a typical hotel room. You’ve got proper windows that open (trust me, this matters in London), and the whole setup encourages you to actually live a bit like a Londoner rather than just passing through. The building can be a bit noisy — it’s Brick Lane, after all — but that’s part of the charm. You’re staying in one of the city’s most energetic areas.
Why Guests Love It
People keep coming back because it strikes that perfect balance between authentic London living and tourist practicality. You’re close enough to walk to Shoreditch, Spitalfields Market, and even Tower Bridge if you don’t mind a longer stroll. Plus, having that kitchen means you can grab fresh ingredients from the local markets and actually cook — something that feels pretty special when you’re used to hotel rooms. The 7.8 rating makes sense; it’s not perfect, but it delivers exactly what it promises.
Guest reviews
"Superb"
Amazing neighborhood, Whole Brick Lane is awesome. With instructions it was easy to get in. Apartment was even ready half an hour earlier upon inquiry. I really appreciate presence of the el. sockets reductions for EU chargers including USB and USB C. Well equipped flat.
What could be improved: Washbasin and bathtub were clogged. One window blind was not operating properly. However these are just minor things.

"Very good house but very average street"
The house was spacious with a large living room, enough for a couple to stay comfortably, bathroom and kitchen was well equipped as well.
Appreciate the host for helping us with an earlier check in.
What could be improved: While the overall location is convenient and well connected, the street itself isn't good at all. It was basically a noisy market place and a very un English experience to say the least and was very noisy in the night as well.

"Good would stay again"
Was very good for the price I paid
Good location
Nicely decorated apartment
Owner was polite and very helpful
What could be improved: Would recommend the bath/shower gets looked at had the temperature all the way up but was only luke warm water coming out.
Would also suggest a guest book with details in such as WiFi name and password owner did give me details but took a while.

"Very good"
Nice sized tidy apartment. Handy location close to plenty of shops and eateries. 10 minutes walk from overground station and 15 minutes walk from underground station. Owner was very helpful.
What could be improved: Would like to see improvements to the building entrance to make it more attractive and with an extra level of security access off the street as well as the apartment itself.

"Very good"
The apartment was comfortable and had almost everything you needed.
What could be improved: It did not have any ventilation system, so you had to open the windows, which faced the street, which was really loud until the morning. The stairwell was unlocked, so, especially at first night when you have no idea what to expect, I did not feel safe because most of the doors had minor locks.

"Amazing location , spacious! Really really cozy and great value for the price"
This apartment is at a great location. There are so much going on, around 7-8 mins walk to the closest tube station. It’s a really spacious apartment, you can hardly find this space in London! It’s super comfy and and you have anything you need in this apartment. I love it thank you
What could be improved: The only thing I’ll pick is that the water doesn’t go down on the bath tub. It’s very very slow, other than that it’s honestly fab!

"4/5 recommend and price for 1-night stay amongst 4 was a bargain!!"
We found the place was exceptionally clean and fully serviced. The bed was comfortable and the shower was impeccable. The host was kind and helpful in our check-in process and accommodating our requirements.
What could be improved: We thought the route to the flat could have more signage as it was not clear to the flat and it was on the 2nd floor which could be difficult to access if anyone stayed for a longer period or required a lift for accessibility. The street noise could be blocked out with thicker windows if closed and on hotter days like the Saturday, a fan could be useful.

"Passable"
The place is quite standard and I like that fact.
What could be improved: The Tv wasn’t connected to the internet and there was no breakfast as specified.

"Never again"
There was a very nice lady cleaning the flat and it looked super clean on first impressions. We didn't stay so can't vouch 100%
What could be improved: Arrived to find the street door did not lock which was worrying in an area with high crime rates. We came as agreed for an early check in and carried our heavy suitcases up two floors (which wasn't shown in the advert). The property was not ready which was fine but they also did not have keys as the previous Tenant had not left them. The owner was very aggressive and rude and advised us we had only booked for one person. I told him we had booked for one adult and one child using booking.com and he said we had not. I asked how much extra it would be, twice, he would not advise. It felt that he did not really want us to stay and as there were already various issues such as no keys and no locking street door he agreed to refund us and we were happy to leave. Would not recommend unless you don't mind staying under those circumstances.
