Great location in the East End! It's conveniently situated between the Central and District tube lines. And if you're out late, there are a couple night buses that pass nearby. The area is mainly residential but you've got some restaurants and a couple pub options within walking distance. There are also plenty of shop options for groceries. The locks were a little tricky. If you're unfamiliar with the setup of the water heating system, it can be a little confusing but we managed to figure it out. And yes, the sofa bed is comfy! The kitchen is fully stocked with utensils and cookware which came convenient when we didn't want to go out to eat. I highly recommend staying at Helen's and hope to come back!
