I would be wary about staying with Taylan. On the 4th night of my stay, the apartment was broken into-- through the back alley entrance. My room and the room next to mine had the doors kicked in. My camera, along with a few other personal items, were stolen. The people in the other room were even more unlucky, having a laptop, camera, and passports taken. Obviously an unfortunate situation, but regardless, I'd look elsewhere for a place to stay in Shoreditch/Bethnal Green.
