Fabien's home wasn't just a place to live for a few days, but an experience in itself. Having his entire house at our disposal was like as we submerged into his and his family world: his little daughter paintings, his music collection on vinyl plates etc etc. Being surrounded by his "things" it was like enjoying all along our stay a good story of a young cosmopolitan London couple. Such a precious experience is nowhere to find into a non-personal hotel room, regardless of price.
The area is a typical London borough situated between the Centre and the East End (pretty close to the last Olympic village and amenities) , with clean, quite streets and polite people. The house was perfectly clean, spacious, the bedrooms very comfortable. For a smoke we used the small, green yard in the back of the house.
We wished we were closer to some hypermarkets (there are some corner shops in the near, though) and the connections to the Centre of London more direct (or maybe we just did't chose the right lines).
Overall we got fantastic value for (small) money and some wonderful memories. Thank you Fabien!
