Great stay at Fabrizio's place – I was very comfortable and enjoyed my short time there. Check-in (and check-out) were a breeze. Although we didn't see each other much during the week, we had a couple of great conversations on the first and last night. Very fun guy to talk to!! A few bits of the house are in need of some TLC (which Fabrizio mentions), but the apartment is immaculate and that was much more important to me. Good-sized, comfortable room, with a desk too which was useful, and also plenty of storage. Also, around a 10 minute walk to Leyton station, or you can easily jump on a bus too to get around London. All in all, a very comfortable and effortless stay for me, and I think terrific value. Fabrizio was a welcoming host, and I wish him all the best!
