Native Fenchurch Street

We have just returned from a business trip in London . Apartment 16 in creechurch street . The apartment is self catering and has everything you need. It is well positioned for London meetings and tubes BUT the issue is not the quality of the apartment . It is incredibly noisy (at a high level) - u will need ear plugs to sleep ) and seems to operate next to some sort of storage/recycling depot - it is noisy 24/7 . There were a few issues with the apartment which we engaged on through a WhatsApp service with automated responses . We did this 3 x over our stay none of which were addressed . So effectively we had no hot water to shower or bath in and a sink that could not b used in the bathroom because the plug did not work . It is important to note that these sorts of rentals have no face to face interaction, this being the main issue. It is all keys and codes to enter and exit . We also asked for a late checkout (1 hour later - no formal response) and early check in , a full days rate was to be applied ) . The latter did not matter as our flight was delayed by a day . So in summary , flat itself is acceptable and well positioned - overall View (pros 6 cons 16) . In the past we have stayed in a hotel for business (cost was similar), we will be doing that in the future .

Good place

Great location for work. The place is spacious and fairly well equipped (a few dishes missing, no salt / pepper, etc., but I had no real challenges). It was very clean. Towels are big, fluffy, clean. Views are great. A little run down and in need of fresh paint - but quite comfortable. I realise there are other reviews with noise complaints because it is above a bar but given it was easy to close doors from the front room, hall and bedroom - it was easy to block the noise and I didn't find this an issue. Location is great - several tubes to choose from between 7 - 10 min away. I would stay again.

Don’t stay This place was an awful experience. No communication sent about how to self check in and had to ring the office several times whilst stood outside, spoke to rude staff members who consistently hung up on me. The door also did not lock when leaving.

The apartment was clean and large. The location was convenient to multiple Underground stations. We did not have issues with noise as others noticed, but the pub in the courtyard does crowded. The furnishings were not super-comfortable if you want to spend any time sitting around in the unit. We cooked dinner multiple times and found the kitchen lacking in basics like towels, napkins etc and cooking oils, salt, pepper, so be prepared to purchase those. Overall, it was a decent stay for us while in London for a week.
