Julian place was warm, fresh, clean and comfortable. I only stayed for one night and throughly enjoyed it! Julian went above and beyond by picking up my bags when I was running late for a meeting! He's a very friendly and easy going chap and it was a pity I didn't get a chance to know him better.
Julians place is roughly 40 mins by train from the city so plan ahead if you want to stay late in the city. The fastest route I found was to take jubilee line to Stratford and from there to over ground train to illford (£5.20 one way) once you reach illford station you can take bus 145 to Julian's place. You can walk from the next station but will take you 15-20 mins so make sure your google maps is working!!
