Eliana’s place is great, the fellow guests are friendly. I stayed here for almost two months and it went very well. She has all the amenities you need & the kitchen and bathrooms and other public spaces are well-stocked and cleaned regularly. The guests are polite and considerate. There are some longer term guests at the property as well (there are 6 rooms in total) and everyone treats the house like a home. Eli is super helpful and approachable as well! There are two lovely cats so it’s a good fit for cat lovers/cat tolerators!! Eli also helped me out with some flexible dates and other requests!
There were only two downsides to my stay —
1) the tube stations (Hackney Central/Hackney Downs/Homerton) were all about 20+ mins walk away so it’s not perfect for regular commuting. However there is a bus stop literally just outside the house from which bus #242 takes you all over (from Homerton Hospital to Aldgate at least) and that’s very convenient!
2) the room I stayed in (room 3) runs a bit cold and the central heating wasn’t always as effective as needed. But the host does provide a space heater which came in very handy since I stayed here over the winter months!
Hope this review helps!
Cheers!
