Eileen is a lovely host. When we arrived she invited us for a beer and explained everything about the flat. She also suggested a Vietnamese restaurant close by which we really liked.
Eileen's flat is great. We felt very safe and had the flat literally for ourselves. The view from the bedroom is really nice and the bed was a five star experience, comparable to a really good hotel. Amazingly comfortable mattress, pillows and duvets. Everything was super clean when we arrived and we felt very welcome.
The flat's location is ideal if you want to explore all the existing areas in London's East. We would really recommend to visit Broadway market on a Saturday, you can get there just by a short stroll along the canal. Lots of nice places to eat, design shops and a really cool shop for vintage furniture (called "the dog and the wardrobe").
If you're flying in from Gatwick Airport, you can take a train to Clapham Junction and then go directly to Haggerston by Overground, which is only a short walk away from the flat.
We will definitely try to stay there again next time we're in London!
