I really enjoyed my visit at Roberta's place. It is clean, airy, with a nod to mid century design, I felt right at home. The bed was very comfortable and the apartment has great daylight, and a charming garden to look out at.
I cooked at home many of the days during my stay, and the kitchen is great. The bathroom has a wonderful tub, as well as a great hot shower. The apartment is on a quite residential street off the bustling slightly hip Kingsland Rd. where there are plenty of great cafe's, restaurants, bars, and shops. Not to mention the Ridley Road Market as well as several Turkish groceries, and trendy organic markets like Harvest. There's even a Hamam, and a Deco movie theater The Rio. I really enjoy the diversity of this neighbourhood.
There are loads of buses to choose from to head to Soho, Covent Garden, ect and many tube options as well.
Roberta was an excellent hostess despite being in Rome during my visit. I was greeted at the door by her friend, to be let in just as I arrived from Heathrow, and she checked in on me during my stay. A wonderful and comfortable place to stay!
