My two-week stay with Linda at her home in Bethnal Green was the most amazing experience in every way :)

The home is part of a Victorian period mansion block, located steps away from the Bethnal Green tube station on the Central Line. This is one of the fastest lines in the system and will take you straight to Central London (e.g., Oxford Circus) in twenty minutes. The area is situated close to connections to the Overground and Docklands Light Rail (I recommend taking the DLR to see Canary Wharf and Greenwich!). The neighbourhood also features handy grocery stores, including a Sainsbury's Local and Co-op, as well as adorable cafes and pubs. I loved the proximity to Victoria Park and Regent's Canal, which are perfect for walking, biking, and picnicking. The East End of London is a culturally-rich and trendy area that shouldn't be missed -- you'll definitely be glad you stayed here!

The bedroom was exactly as pictured: spacious, sunny, and beautifully appointed, with a huge and comfortable bed, large closet, and writing desk. I had plenty of privacy, yet also felt like part of the family! And the best part of the stay was definitely meeting Linda and her daughter. They are the warmest, most big-hearted people. We had countless amazing conversations and they taught me so much about their great city, not just the touristy bits, but real stories and real life. I definitely recommend staying at Linda's place! I'm already looking forward to coming back :)
