Sam's place is really great. Once inside, the apartment feels secure, cozy and clean. Sam provided extra bedding, as promised, and everything in the apartment was as described. The location was fantastic for people who want to tour east London and Broadway market provides lots of activities. However, the exterior to the block of flats is nothing special and, if arriving in the evening can be off-putting. Also, lots of other reviewers have mentioned hot water issues. The hot water was definitely there when we showered but a) it did switch off intermittently and b) the water pressure was not great.
