The Flat is wonderful, just as pictured very clean, bright and equipped with everything you might need. (even a Nespresso machine) Des is an amazing host, communication was prompt, and answered all our questions. Des met us to check in, and had the fridge stocked with breakfast foods for us as well. He had many helpful suggestions to make our stay even better. The Flat is quiet, has a nice view of the canal, it is very close to Mile End station and the Roman Road shops and restaurants. The location was perfect for getting my daughter moved in and situated at QMUL just a 10 minute walk down the canal path. Lastly the Italian restaurant on the ground floor is excellent!
