I stayed at Marianna's place for a week for my first visit to London and it was overall a great experience! Marianna is a hospitable host, she was always quick to answer all my questions about wifi, how to use the washer and dryer, etc. I appreciated the quick response! The apartment is pretty big, especially for one person. It was clean and neatly organized. I enjoyed the tranquil quality of the balcony with all the plants and city view at night. It's a quiet neighborhood, almost a little deserted except for when the Petticoat Lane market is going on. If you're looking to experience East London, this is a perfect option! If you want to explore other areas of London like I did then you'll find yourself hopping onto either Liverpool Street or Aldgate East underground stations often, about 10 minutes walking distance. Just be sure to give yourself plenty of travel time if you want to visit other neighborhoods like say Notting Hill, which was about 45 min between walking + underground. Location is about 1 hr 15 min from the Heathrow airport via public transportation.
