Adri and Adri's apartment were everything I was hoping for: he's very much welcoming you as an old friend/guest into his home, and it had a naturalness combined with helpfulness that made my stay very comfortable. When I got (jet-lag style) confused about the the key pad on the door, Adri was on the spot to help me figure it out, and he had local and further afield recommendations for the things that I was curious about or interested in. As for the apartment, this place had everything I needed, plus some thoughtful (Adri!) amenities in the bathroom and in my room. Mattress is comfortable and there's a dedicated workspace in the room, if you're needing to do a little computer work while you're here. Added bonus that now with the Elizabeth line opening, I think this place will be a straight shot from Heathrow (but confirm that because the Whitechapel station is opening later than the main chunk).
