Overview
First Impressions
Spacious 3 Bed Flat near Liverpool street, Spitalfields sits right in the heart of one of London’s most fascinating neighborhoods, and honestly, the location alone makes it worth considering. You’re on Commercial Street — literally where the old meets the new in the most authentic way possible. The building itself is typical East London converted space, nothing fancy from the outside, but that’s actually part of its charm.
The Space
When they say spacious, they mean it — this three-star flat actually delivers on space in a city where most places feel like shoe boxes. The three bedrooms are genuinely usable (not those tiny London “doubles” that barely fit a bed), and the main living area has enough room to actually hang out without bumping into each other. The kitchen is functional with everything you need for proper cooking, which is refreshing when you’re tired of eating out every meal.
Location & Neighborhood
Here’s what I love about this spot — you’re a five-minute walk from Liverpool Street station, but you’re also right in Spitalfields, which means you get the best of both worlds. Sunday mornings at Spitalfields Market are something else entirely, and you can literally roll out of bed and be browsing vintage finds and eating incredible street food. The area has this energy that’s hard to describe — it’s where finance workers grab lunch next to artists and vintage dealers.
Getting Around
Liverpool Street is your gateway to everywhere, honestly. You’ve got the Central, Circle, Hammersmith & City, and Metropolitan lines all right there, plus it’s a major rail hub if you need to get out of the city. But what’s really nice is how walkable everything is from here — you can stroll to Shoreditch in ten minutes, hit Brick Lane for curry, or wander toward the City when you want to see the financial district’s gleaming towers.
Why Guests Love It
The flat works because it gives you that local London experience without the tourist trap feel. You’re staying where actual Londoners live and work, in a neighborhood that’s got serious character. The space is comfortable enough for groups or families who need room to spread out, and the apartment setup means you can save money by cooking some meals at home. It’s not going to win any design awards, but it’s clean, functional, and puts you right in the middle of one of London’s most vibrant areas — which, let’s be honest, is exactly what you want when you’re exploring the city.

"Ideal if you’re happy sacrificing luxury for location."
Check in/out was very easy. Location couldn’t have been better, right across the road from spittalfields market (would recommend humble crumble - worth the queue!). Good transport links short walking distance. Two very spacious bedrooms and one more suited for one person rather than two, especially with luggage.
What could be improved: The ground floor of the apartment has a storage room that the hosts access whenever required and will only let you know this the day before you arrive, guests staying in the middle floor bedroom will be woken up by this and there’s no lock or privacy between this access and the rooms.
As other guests have mentioned, the kitchen area isn’t big enough for 6 people - only 4 chairs at a very wobbly table, sofa very old. We brought our own towels and used the ones provided as hand towels/floor mat as these are not provided and with 5 people showering the floor will get wet. Steep staircase so would not book if you have any issues with mobility. Mouse traps in every room but thankfully no sign of any mice. Strong smell at all times from the nail shop below. Has real potential to be a wonderful apartment if hosts would take the time to update the “student halls” old furniture.

"Great location, don't expect too much else"
Absolute great location. Close the public transportation, wonderful pubs and great market around the corner.
Good size for a group of people (up to 5/6 people).
Washing machine and drying rack can be used - great for travelers!
What could be improved: - Lack of cleanliness in the overall apartment - hair from other people into the bathroom, on towels and stained bedsheets
- Pesticide traps in all the rooms
- black visible mold in the bathroom
- lack of water pressure in shower
- mildewy smell in hallway
- kitchen table not secured and unusable, not enough chairs (only 4)
- too little appliances for meals (cups etc)
- couch is very worn out - not recommended for sitting

"A good property, its clean, the beds were comfortable, and in a great location."
The property is in a great location, and with easy walking distance to 2 x tube stations.
The three bedrooms were all a good size and perfect for our group of 5.
So good having the kitchen and washing machine available and in the property.
Our host was always available, and any request was actioned immediately.
What could be improved: The furniture in the kitchen re chairs and dining table + the lounge need updating.
Everything worked and did the job, but an update of the furniture would not go astray.

"Great flat, great value, fabulous location."
We were granted early check in after arriving on a 7.15 am flight from Australia, we were able to drop our cases at the property as we were way too early fir 3 pm check in, but then at 12 pm we got a message to say room was ready, thank you so much for accomodating us.

"Very central and a good place to stay in London"
Easy communication with the host and check in was a breeze. Apartment was in a great spot in East London which was central to multiple underground and over ground trains.
What could be improved: The stairs are quite steep and narrow but it is manageable.
The downstairs space is shared which we had no issues with but didn't realise this upon arrival. It is displayed in the home.
Apartment is not very secure however i did not feel unsafe.
