London Fields is a happening part of London right now, and this flat is an ideal way to spend some time there on a budget. Yvonne's place is clean and well-appointed - it's not like a hotel suite where you might want to live in it for hours, but that isn't the reason you're traveling to London, is it? She is a delightful host, who will help you out with miscellaneous requests (in my case, with wrapping paper/gift wrap for presents for a friend's wedding) and enjoy a nice chat with you over tea. The flat is right by London Fields and a 5-minute stroll from Broadway Market, a street that's chockablock with cool eateries and pubs and other things. At Yvonne's suggestion, I took a terrific (albeit rainy) walk along the Grand Union Canal - a 10-minute walk to get there from the flat, - all the way along Victoria Park and up to the park that was built for the London Olympics in 2012. Or, you can go the other way towards the Angel and, partly above ground, to Camden Town and London Zoo. It really is a great place and base for your London trip.
