Ansuman's place was the first one that jumped out at me when I checked here for a place to stay in London. I wanted something special, quirky and not your typical sterile hotel room.

So it was great to get confirmation that the room was free and I booked it straight away.

We stayed in the centre of London the whole evening before heading over to Ansuman's house and arrived not long before midnight. He'd had a few hectic days and just like us he was looking forward to his bed, so we had a short but pleasant conversation over a cup of tea before heading to our room. It was comfortable and nicely decorated and the bed had such a good mattress compared to mine at home, that it was just bliss to get between the sheets.

We had an equally brief moment together in the morning, first we grabbed breakfast round the corner and then we headed of towards London city centre again.

Ansuman is obviously a very interesting man, and it would have been great to have a little bit more time with him and enjoy his quirky house and the hustle and bustle of Stoke Newington.
