I have chosen to stay in this part of London because we had to go for business in this area.
The flat is easy to reach from London City airport and from there few stops of DLR and a short drive by bus takes you directly to the front door of the flat !
The flat it it located in an ex -pub that makes already a plus because it is different for the usual English house ,on a second floor , the stairs are easy , when you open the door , you will love it as we did ! Spottles clean , incredibly neat , big rooms , plenty of natural light ,big windows , very quite .
Nik has written a guide with all kind of useful information ,not only regarding the flat but also on where to go to eat , food shopping shops ,going around .
To reach the underground , Mile End , you can either walk 15 minutes or catch the bus just in front of the house, there you have Central line, Distrcit Line and Hammersmith & City Line which allows to reach any part of London easly .
The area at night is safe we did not have any problem at all .
Next time we will go to London we will stay at Nik place for sure , I must say that I have been using Airbnb for a long time I can say this is one of the best place we have stayed !
