Guest Reviews

• Anu (10/5): -
• Dirk (9/5): Mooi appartement, perfecte locatie. -
• MARIA ANGELES (10/5): Excelente estancia en Whitechapel - Ha sido una estancia excelente, Faruq ha hecho que nos sintamos como en casa, con mucho mimo y ojo al detalle. Sin duda, es uno de los mejores sitios en los que hemos estado, ¡muchas gracias por todo Faruq!
• Chris (9/5): Great place, will be back - Great location, well maintained and everything catered for
• García Cano (8/5): -
• Alexandra (10/5): Szuper szállás 4-5 fő részére, közel a látnivalókhoz. - Az elhelyezkedése remek, a berendezése és a felszereltsége csodás! A szállásadó rugalmas és segítőkész!
• Patrick (9/5): Agréable, sympa - Le confort de l appartement, spacieux, rien ne manque. L hôtel tres disponible et courtois Ras
• Antti (9/5): -
• Anke (8/5): -
• Annika (8/5): Good value, good location, good host - We found the apartment very suitable for our stay. We found it quite homely as it is located in a busy (but not in any way loud) apartment building, so you can see the neighbors' and smell the spices of dinners being cooked in the courtyard. Access to the city centre was very comfortable via Whitechapel Tube station (like 2 min walk) and also by foot if you like to experience the full atmosphere of the area. The apartment is located next to a good size store, so buying groceries was no problem. The host was very proactive in communications (how to find the apartment, how to locate the keyes etc) which was very reassuring while planning the trip. The apartment had all we needed for cooking and we really enjoyed the capsule coffee (hot chocolate) machine for those early mornings getting ready for a full day of discovering. We really did enojoy our stay! I would nitpick a little about the cleanliness. There were a few spots here and there that one notices when coming to a "hotel" and the rooms were smaller than the pictures imply. Some of our crew felt that the beds were hard but I guess that is dependent on a persons own mattress preferences. We would stay again if coming to London.

• Kolbeck Doris (8/5): Gut und preislich super - Die Lage ist hervorragend angebunden hinterm Haus die Station Whitechapel. Die Gegend ist etwas rauh aber wir haben uns sicher gefühlt. Der Vermieter ist super freundlich und zuvorkommend. Das Appartement ist super ausgestattet mehr als erwartet. Es war auch sehr sauber.
• GerriP (8/5): -
• Wojciech (10/5): -
• Matej (9/5): - Good location close to subway, nice and clean apartment, comfortable bed. Perfect communication with the host.
• Leonie (7/5): - Die Lage ist gut direkt an einer U-Bahn und bei einem Supermarkt. Es ist auf den ersten Blick modern eingerichtet. Das Badezimmer war leider nicht sehr sauber und die Ausstattung generell ist teilweise in die Jahre gekommen. Wir haben das Fenster zum Lüften geöffnet und konnten es dann nicht mehr schließen. Den Host haben wir kontaktiert und er konnte uns nicht helfen. Unser Aufenthalt war im Winter und wir mussten dann eine Nacht bei offenem Fenster schlafen, was sehr kalt und laut war. Für diese Probleme, war der Preis nicht angemessen. Das Apartment ist in einer Gegend in der man nachts als Frau nicht alleine unterwegs sein sollte.

• Manuela (9/5): -
• Flavia (8/5): Tutto bene - Struttura molto spaziosa (per Londra) e posizione comoda. Proprietario veramente molto gentile e disponibile. Ampia disponibilità di amenità, tra cui caffè e prodotti da bagno. Posizione centrale, anche se il quartiere ha un’atmosfera "particolare" Quartiere “particolare”, che non a tutti può piacere. Livello di pulizia non eccellente, ma comunque accettabile.

• Butterworth (4/5): Sorry to say we wouldnt stay again, despite a lovely host - The owner provided coffee pods and some chocolates. He was available by text and responded quickly to queries. There were thoughful things like complimentary shampoo, conditioner, soap and toothpaste. Plenty of spare pillows and blankets. The location was great and the apartment price was very reasonable. Unfortunately we only stayed one night out of the 3. The reason for this is the noise from the apartment above us which continued all night until gone 4am, which we realise the owner can do nothing about, being in a residential area. The main reason for leaving was the beds. I genuinely thought i was sleeping on a wooden board! I even lifted the mattress cover to check. My back was absolutely killing me. My friend who was staying in the other room, had the same experience. Both of us had bad backs and had hardly slept. There was also a very unpleasant sewerage smell from the toilet. The sofa was incredibly uncomfortable - you could feel the bars through the thin cushion. The apartment is very tired and doesnt look as lovely as the photos. It would benefit from being repainted and things like the doors being washed around the door handles. New mattresses would make a world of difference - these ones have absolutely no give in them. All in all great price, lovely host, great location, but the place needs work and requires updating and a lick of paint. It needs some TLC.
• MEHMET (10/5): Great place - Excellent location. Near underground and shopping and restaurants. Easy to access famous attractions by underground with a short walking
• Krikib (10/5): - Abbiamo soggiornato in questo bel appartamento per capodanno, appartamento molto pulito con tutto quello che serve vicino alla fermata della metro e a tutti i servizi, quartiere tranquillo e molto silenzioso. Signore Faruq è stato molto disponibile.
• Anne-Claire (10/5): Excellent - L échange avec le propriétaire très sympa
• sira (10/5): Fantastic - C'era tutto il necessario nell'appartamento e la posizione è ottima.
• Denisa (10/5): Amazing property close to public transportation and Historic London - Clean property and comfortable beds and shower. The proximity to Whitechapel metro station is a huge advantage which allows moving easily around London. Faruq was very helpful and very responsive. We had an amazing time.
• monica (8/5): - Vicinanza al supermercato e alla metro Zona periferica e quartiere popolare
• Roland (10/5): -
• Marta (9/5): - Apartamento cómodo y equipado con todo lo que necesites. Incluso hay adaptadores para los enchufes, agua, café, jabones.... No falta de nada. Las habitaciones son amplias y las camas cómodas. El anfitrión super amable, atento y siempre dispuesto a ayudar. Metro a pocos pasos. Quizás la zona no era la esperada pero aún y así estuvimos muy tranquilos. Por decir algo, la limpieza... Le falta un buen lavado,. pero creo que esto es común en Londres
• Philippa (10/5): -
• Emil (9/5): -
• Laura-Nicoleta (10/5): -
• Hallie (9/5): - Perfect location for getting into London and Tottenham stadium. No sink where the toilet is but I think that is just how the apartment was designed.
• Hannes (1/5): Absolut nicht empfehlenswert für zahlende Gäste. - Nichts Die Bewertung von 8,9 zum Zeitpunkt unserer Buchung war irreführend. Das Apartment „THE HEADLAM“ war veraltet, schmutzig und unbewohnbar. Gebäude und Umgebung heruntergekommen. Absolut nicht empfehlenswert für zahlende Gäste.
• Grubner (10/5): Es war toll - Die Wohnung ist super schön eingerichtet und total ruhig. Badezimmer, Schalf- und Wohnzimmer, Küche sind top und sauber. Wir haben gleich wahnsinnig viele Infos zur Umgebung etc. erhalten. Der Vermieter hat sich auch laufend erkundigt, ob alles ok ist. Weiters durften wir die Koffer früher abstellen, als Bezugszeit war, da wir beim anderen Haus auschecken mussten. Das war sehr entgegenkommend. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt genossen.
• Crackers (8/5): Great time, thank you Faruk. - The apartment was very well equipped and stocked by the owner making our stay very comfortable. The apartment is just minutes walk to a large Sainsbury's and Underground making our stay and travel so easy. Whitechapel district might not be for everyone but we enjoyed it and travel links were excellent. Nothing negative to say about the apartment for our stay of 2 persons.
• Susan (7/5): Comfortable unit in a central location and with a great host - The unit was well set up with plenty of little extras. Host was super-helpful. Neighbourhood was a little rough (probably to be expected in Whitechapel), but we felt safe enough there. Unit was more compact than expected. Would have preferred access/address information a little earlier (was supplied only the day before our booking). We were travelling on an international SIM which was giving grief, so become somewhat anxious about getting the information in time (worked out ok in the end).
• Iben (10/5): -
• Gerhard (9/5): - Ausstattung, Größe, Ausstattung der Küche, tatsächlich eine Wohnung für 3 bis 4 Personen
• joaquin pedro (8/5): -
• Maria Carmen (8/5): Bien para 2 o 3 dias - La hospitalidad y el trato recibido por el anfitrión. Muy atento y siempre dispuesto a ayudar. Las instalaciones necesitan una actualización y un repaso en lo relativo a la limpieza.
• zanella (9/5): -
• S. Adil (9/5): -
• Lourdes (7/5): Días de familia en Londres - ubicación cercanía metro y buses; tenia lo necesario
• Cheryl Muringani (10/5): - The place itself was very clean and all necessities provided Good communication from the host! Very friendly and so accommodating Faruq is an excellent, we were provided from clear communication from the get go. The premises where as described. Appreciated him going of his way to send items that we had left at the place without any issues and honestly we had an amazing time and we would book again in a heartbeat
• Takai (9/5): -
• Sharon (9/5): -
• Ganesh (7/5): - Very central location walking distance to supermarket and the tube. Minutes away from the best of London. Its a very very small apartment
• Kk (8/5): Very good -
• Mika (7/5): Good - Close enough to underground, big enough for four people
• Margaret (10/5): Spacious flat, excellent location. - Perfect location for us beside Whitechapel tube & a supermarket. Got to Sth Kensington in 25mins with no changes on the tube, and in the other direction, Abba Voyage in less than 15mins. Walked to Spitalfields and Brick Lane markets. Very friendly estate, felt safe. I gave never stayed in East London before, will definitely stay here again. Faruq was friendly and very helpful, we loved the kind gestures in the flat and there was nothing he hadn’t thought of! Nothing, me and my daughters were delighted with the flat.
• Zhihui (9/5): Superb -
• Luke (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sivell (8/5): Very good -
• Nelleke (9/5): Superb - Nice appartement in A very quiet street. Nothing
• Lucina (10/5): Exceptional -
• David (10/5): Great apartment near public transport & shopping - Lovely apartment in a great location. Very easy to get to the train station and bus stop. Loved the grocery store close by. Apartment had everything we needed plus more. Faruq was great to communicate with and very kind. The location is not what we expected because it was lots of apartments close together. At first we were worried because of so many families and kids. But afterwards, we had absolutely no issues. It was very quiet and comfortable.
• Mclaughlan (10/5): Great stay in a great location. - Host had great communication, flat was perfect, well provided for and we will stay again. Sofa was a bit uncomfortable but apart from that, perfect.
• Chris (10/5): Fabulous location, great host 🙂 - The location is fabulous- 1 min walk from a large supermarket, 2 mins from Whitechapel tube, 10 mins from shops, restaurants and museums in Bethnal Green. There's a kickabout area just outside which is a handy bonus if you have children. Faruq was really helpful and proactive with ideas to help. The flat is spacious and very well equipped, not to mention great value. Would definitely hope it was available the next time we come to London.
• Patabeg (10/5): Great stay at Whitechapel - The apartment is really clean and spacious. The communication with the host was great and he was helpful to accomodate our requests. It is close to the meteo station which realy takes you quickly to the city center.
• Liz (7/5): Good - The apartment was warm, comfortable, close to great transport links, pubs and restaurants around as well as a Sainsbury’s and numerous other shops. The public spaces are misleading, the apartment isn’t the most modern but there is plenty of everything and a great host
• Lara (10/5): 10/10 stay - The apartment is super comfortable and the location is great! There's a supermarket and a metro station nearby which are a plus. Faruq was a perfect host, with amazing communication and super available. We were there as a family, but the apartment would also be great for a group of friends. You can hear a lot of noise from the street if you leave the windows open at night, but nothing earplugs can't solve
• Aleksandras (8/5): Standart apartment with good location - Spacious, but standart apartment with good location in East London (we even walked to the London center by foot). Tube station is close to apartment, public transport is easily accessible. Big supermarket nearby. The host left some tips on what to visit in London while staying in that area. The furniture, bathroom and WC needs renovating, although it serves its purpose. We could hear our neighbors in quiet hours, the soundproofing wasn't the best.
• Eva (10/5): Exceptional - The apartment had everything you could need, was tight, but cozy and still big enough for us four people. Location is next to Whitechapel Underground which will transport you everywhere within 25 mins max! Check in /out and communication with the host were exceptional. One of us is exceptionally tall (195cm) and had some trouble fitting in the beds. Just something to keep in mind if this applies to you too.
• Peter (10/5): Great location and full comfort apartment - Perfectly located apartment with all the necessary items and equipments (even some kind treats). The host is super caring and very easy to communicate with. Smooth arrival with excellent instructions. The tube station and a big supermarket only minutes away. Perfect position inside the city. We found the neighbourhood safe and silent. Several interesting Asian restaurants in walking distance. One neighbour frequently started conversations late at night, and the noise traveled through the thin wall. Fortunately, there were only two of us, so we were able to relocate to the living room from the affected bedroom (only one bedroom was impacted). Overall, it didn’t significantly affect us or our rating. I don’t think anything can be done about this, but it’s something to be aware of. The other bedroom was very quiet.
• Dainy (10/5): Fully equipped comfortable apartment - Everything you need for a weekend in London with friends and family. It was perfectly located near a bus stop and subway station. Also nearby a big supermarket. Appartment was fully equipped and the price was very good. Host is very friendly and helpful
• Aleksandra (10/5): Exceptional -
• Therese (8/5): Host v friendly & helpful - Location central for London Breakfast n/a All was ok
• Mohamed (10/5): Exceptional - Very good experience overall, the host is super nice , Very generous and so helpful, the apartment is nice and great location, we were so happy!
• Shafeen (10/5): Recommended - Greatly furnished and was really clean and great staff. Fully recommended
• Alyona (9/5): Superb -
• Anja (7/5): Great location for vititing London city. Nice host - Great Location. Large Supermarkt in the area. Subway station in the area at 5 minutes walking, which gave an excellent connection towards the city. The host was very kind and gave a very well hospitality. Coffee and toilet paper were inclusive, as well as several food leftovers. The appartment provided adapters as well. The host Faruq had a nice booklet with some explanation about area, appartement and city. He was very assisting; we had problems with netflix and it was fixed within 5 minutes. The appartement was not very clean, sink was clogged, bed creaked. But these were minor critic points since the rest was okay.
• Melisa (10/5): It was a great stay with an excellent host - The apartment had everything we needed and Faruq was the best host. He really takes care of his guests. He was always available for any questions we had and willing to help. He also put a guide together in the apartment for places and restaurants to visit which was very useful and a little story about himself which was a nice touch as we feel we got to know him. We felt the bed linen could have been fresher, as it didn’t quite have that recently washed smell. This is a minor detail, and overall, we had a great experience
• Mahtab (8/5): Very good - spacious apartment neighborhood
• Vijaya (8/5): Very good -
• Monika (10/5): Exceptional -
• Alok (10/5): Exceptional -

• Tan (10/5): It was a fuss-free stay, host Faruq was friendly & accommodating. Whitechapel is a good location! - Collection of keys was simple. The host Faruq WhatsApped me and coordinate the keys collection, with detailed instructions on how to get to the apartment. Faruq was present to meet us on check-in and walk through the apartment and amenities. There was a personal touch.
• Chahine (10/5): Amazing stay! Faruq is by far the best host we've ever had. I recommend to everyone! -
• Dominiek (10/5): Great place to stay - Second visit, great place to stay. Faruq is still the nicest host you can imagine. I'll be back!
• Grzegorz (9/5): Superb - This appartment has all required ammenities for a short stay, location a few minutes from the underground. The host was very helpful giving clear instructions how to get to the appartment and closest underground station. We really apreciated possibility to leave our luggages in the morning, so we could start visiting London early. We found coffee in the appartment and welcome sweets. We received also bottles of water. I can recommend this property and the host
• Cleofe (9/5): We enjoyed our stay. - Close to everything from grocery store, wet market,train station , coffee shops and small restaurants.Its only few miles from tower bridge. The owner was nice. Answers all my questions before our arrival. Helped us lift our luggage’s to the second floor.Very welcoming. Apartment is old but clean.Tight kitchen. Coffee maker was not working and microwave needs replacement .
• Julien (9/5): Superb - Good location near Sainsbury's and Whitechapel station
• Victoria (10/5): Perfect location and very clean! - Very clean apartment. Loads of extras like tea, coffee and toiletries. Plenty of towels etc. Clean local area too. Didn't see any rubbish about. Local area was mainly families. Close to large Sainsburys and 5 min walk to tube station. Was in Central London in 10 mins on the tube! Faruq, the owner was amazing. Great check in. We checked in early so we could leave our bags. Amazing instructions on how to get to flat and how to get in. Always available if needed anything. Would 100% stay again! Nothing!
• Robert (8/5): Very good -
• Salman (10/5): Exceptional -
• Olivia (9/5): Great value accomodation - Really nice host, friendly, flexibel, give details direction how to get to the apartment. Great service, good facilities, near supermarket, and not so far from underground station.
• Kathryn (10/5): Great stay, very confortable and convenient - The flat was larger than expected. It was very handy to Whitechapel tube station and a sainsurys supermarket. Friendly host, very helpful and kind, clear instructions. Very warm despite it being freezing cold weather.
• Gianluca (9/5): All good! - Position, big apartment, host very friendly and available
• Anne (9/5): Great place to stay in London - Location is great. Just few stops away from central. Truly a house away from home. You got all the things you need. The host is very generous to provide many extra things. We love the coffee machine and kids love the hot chocolate with it. Nothing really I think.
• Mateusz (10/5): Exceptional - Very nice and clean place. Host is very nice person. No issues . No issues all was ok.
• Donja (9/5): We had a great time in the apartment. It was clean an nice. The comunication was perfect. - How beautiful the apartment was The neighbourhood was not so safe
• Anonymous (7/5): Great location - Fantastic location. So easy to get to the underground station at Whitechapel and not far from Bethnal Green either. The Sainsbury's a 5 min walk away was great, as was the array of shops and pubs/restaurants close by. Brick Lane a stone's throw away with a fabulous selection of takeaways and restaurants. Host was fantastic and so friendly. Comms excellent. Bedrooms a very good size and mattresses very comfortable. The kitchen is very small and the bathroom needs better attention to detail when cleaning (under the non slip mat in the shower, especially). It was annoying that there is no wash basin in the room containing the toilet. Too hot, but easily rectified by turning radiators off since temperature is centrally controlled. I would not be able to stay here in the summer, as very little air filters throughout the flat via the windows but it's fine for the winter.
• Charlotte (10/5): fabulous! - It's a fantastic location, within a couple minutes walk of the Whitechapel and Bethnal Green tube stations, so it's easy to get pretty much anywhere. The apartment is true to the pictures and well-appointed, both with the usual stuff (bedding, kitchen stuff, bath products, and so forth) and with a few extra touches that make it feel friendlier than average. (Really nice coffee machine, some water bottles and basic kitchen supplies, and so forth.) Host was really hospitable, I'm not used to getting a quick "this is how the stuff in the apartment works, tube and shops are that way" tour with one of these rentals so that was a nice surprise. nothing really!
• Dominiek (10/5): A cosy place to come home to - It ticks all the boxes... Location (quiet area, close to supermarket and public transport), rooms (excellent beds, well-equipped kitchen) and facilities (great coffee machine, smart-tv with netflix and disney+). On top of that, Faruq is the most friendly host you can imagine. We'll be back on our next trip to London. None
