Great place to spend a few days in London whether for business as I did or to unwind. Close to everything you need, including access to public transporation. Nearby places to eat are plentiful, as well as places to buy some items if you want to stay in. I didn't know about the Columbia Sunday market and visited it following Evon's recommendations - very enjoyable. Brick Lane has wonderful street vendors on Sunday and businesses for all kinds of cravings and mystery shopping. Walked everywhere from the flat, including all they way to the river. For an east London visit this flat is just what you need.
