Fernando's place is pretty, lovely, artsy, typical, with a bright veranda, plants, white brick walls. It's like a hangar transformed into an artist studio, similar to what you'd find in Brooklyn. 5 min walk from subway, around 30 min from London. District is poor / industrial, but it has some charm, so if you want cool restaurants and hang out you'll have to take the sub. We arrived in January, and it was pretty cold somehow. It was not perfectly clean (but it was ok), the floor is a bit rough and there are obviously paint splatters everywhere, don't be surprised. As long as you want a true London experience and not a boring hotel comfort, then go for it! We loved it and we'll remember this place.
