I had a really pleasant stay in Simon's room while setting myself up in London. The room is huge! It's very bright, and the bed is really comfortable. His housemates are really friendly, inviting me to dinner / movie nights and giving me ideas about where to go in London. Simon was particularly accommodating, he made the stay so seamless. He was very responsive and just generally a really a nice guy. The area is very central and lots of great restaurants and shops around, also a 2 minute walk from brick lane. For what it's worth, this room is very affordable. I highly recommend it.
