My stay at Leandro's and his family's place has been perfect! I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay or a better host family to stay with.
The place is located in a suburban area in East London, but so easily accessible by bus (1 minute) and underground (3 minutes). There are several shops, pubs, bank machines, fast food stalls etc near the place so that you can reach everything you need in a maximum of 5 minutes. And just in case you miss anything in the area: There is a huge shopping centre just two stops by underground away. There are also parks and forests which are great for going for a run and for hiking.
The flat is beautiful and always clean and tidy. The room is even prettier than shown in the pictures. You have lots of space for stowing your belongings. What is special about the room is that you have access to the roof terrace that provides a wonderful view over the city.
Don't get alienated by East London's reputation. It is a nice, vivid place with lots of different people and I've felt safe all the time (also when coming back late in the night or early in the morning).
Last, but not least: Leandro and his family are just wonderful. They made my stay just perfect. Whenever I had a question, they helped me. After we got used to each other, the flat almost or maybe really did feel like home, especially because of the friendliness and warm-heartedness of the family. I would come back at any time and recommend this place to everyone!
