So, you're looking for a place to stay in London. Well ladies and gentlemen, look no further. Raj's place is the one.
Let's start with the location. The location on Alie Street is absolutely phenomenal - not to mention the view from the 18th floor apartment (with access to the 25th floor terrace).
You have the tube station two minutes away by foot and you're only a short walk away from Brick Lane and Sainsbury's. This was my first trip to London and it was just so easy to navigate and reach my destinations from Alie Street.
Next to the building you'll have the very charming café, Café Frei, with an absolute stunning selection of coffees from all around the world and a very friendly and passionate staff. Try their cakes too! Yummy.
You'll also find various other cafés and restaurants nearby.
Want to try an authentic Indian cuisine? Try the affordable Halal Restaurant, the oldest Indian eatery in East London, Established in 1939, just 3 minutes away from the apartment by foot.
Now, to the apartment. Well, did I mention the panoramic view from the 18th floor? It's stunning - especially at sunrise and on nights! Apart from that, the apartment is spacious, very clean and modern. You even have your own bathroom! Everything you need is here. The building is even supervised by a concierge - so if you value security then this place is for you.
So, let's talk about the host. There's no good trip through Air BnB without a good host.
Well, what can I say. Raj made my first trip to London even better. So easy-going, funny, social and friendly. I felt at home during my stay at Raj's place. Raj is a Londoner by heart and he knows all the great places to eat and visit - just ask him and he'll help you out with tips & tricks.
We talked about life, education, sports and politics over a cop of coffee at Café Frei. It was neat.
So, in conclusion. Next time I'm coming to London - and trust me, I will - I will be staying at Raj's place again. No doubt. I highly recommend you do the same too. ;-)
Cheers!
