CHAPTER OLD STREET IN LONDON, London

The property sits in a lively but safe area, with Liverpool Street Underground and Rail Station just a 9-minute walk away, providing direct connections to the tube (Hammersmith & City, Circle, Metropolitan, and Central lines) and national rail services. Brick Lane and its markets are 13 minutes on foot, while St Paul's Cathedral, London Bridge, and the Tower of London are within roughly 2 km. Buses stop very close by, and several stations serve the area, making it straightforward to reach Piccadilly Circus and the West End in 30-40 minutes. The immediate surroundings have a good range of pubs, supermarkets, and cafes. The location is well suited for travellers who want to explore central London on foot or by public transport.

Rooms are offered as studios for one or two people and as larger one- or two-bedroom apartments. The beds are small doubles - suitable for one person or a close-sharing couple, but not for two adults needing full space. Each room has a private bathroom with a shower, a desk, wardrobe storage, a kitchenette with hob, fridge, oven and microwave, plus basic crockery, cutlery and a pan. Windows open for ventilation, but in warmer weather rooms can become hot as there is no air conditioning (fans are available on request). The building has a central courtyard and an upper roof terrace, and rooms on higher floors or the east wing tend to be quieter. No televisions are present in the rooms.

Because the property does not operate a restaurant or serve breakfast, each room's kitchenette becomes the primary option for meal preparation. The kitchenette includes a hob, oven, microwave, fridge, and kettle, plus plates, bowls, glasses, cups, cutlery, a frying pan, and a saucepan. There is a supermarket within walking distance to buy ingredients. For those who prefer to eat out or grab a coffee, several pubs, cafes, and restaurants are within a short walk, including well-known spots like Dishoom Shoreditch and Duck & Waffle (about 1 km away). This setup works well for longer stays or when you want to control food costs.

The free gym provides basic exercise equipment and is accessible to all residents. The games room includes a billiards table and is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Outdoors, the roof terrace offers views over the city (popular around sunset), while the inner courtyard garden is a quiet spot to relax during the day. The property also has a communal lounge near the entrance with seating and study areas, and a separate study room for working. All these spaces are open 24 hours, which makes them convenient for guests on varying schedules.
