Jelena’s place is great if you’re looking for a base outside central London in a quiet neighbourhood. Upney station is a 2min walk with links into the city which take about 20mins. We stayed here as it was close to a festival location but doesn’t seem to be too much going on in the local area. The annex is furnished adequately with cheap decor although this didn’t bother us. The annex was tidy but not spotless, with some spots needing some attention. The value is good for what you get with the annex considering it’s in London.
