The Finsbury Deluxe Apartments

the building is located in a very sketchy area. i witnessed a woman get beaten and multiple drug dealers right by the apartments. if you're a solo female traveler i'd highly advise against staying here. the walls were scuffed and generally dirty. the shower door was broken. early in the morning, someone was knocking on our wall repeatedly which was incredibly annoying the pros: hot shower and clean bathroom. easy check in instructions. near bus and tube station

Don't believe what you see, these "deluxe" apartments are very crampt and run down, the room itself isn't so bad however I'll recount my experience so you can get an idea of what you're dealing with. When we entered there was no reception, security or anything of the sort, we simply was emailed the code for the entrances and that's that, after hauling my (and my girlfriend's) luggage upstairs we entered a medium sized room with chipping paint and a flimsy closet, the room was very sterile looking, we left the apartment to go to a new restaurant that just opened, after going there we returned home only to hear something very disturbing, near our home was a man violently assaulting a woman, we couldn't do anything but luckily two lads stepped in to stop it (shout out to them), needless to say that made me and my partner feel quite unsafe as we are both not exactly the strongest people, so after hurrying inside we got ready for bed, after waking we heard a loud thumping noise near the room, this went on for about 10-20 minutes, it could have been the butcher shop but it's unlikely as it sounded like it came from inside the apartments and plus it didn't sound very butcherlike, no it was something else, I don't know what but it startled us and we were leaving that morning anyways. We've been been more glad to leave somewhere.
