Pratāp's place was just what I wanted and hoped for. I love staying in Bethnal Green, and his place is both well located and quiet. Patrāp was there to greet me when I arrived, had useful information, and made me feel very welcome. I'll be back in a few days for another week, and look forward to it.
If you're new to Bethnal Green, it's a diverse neighbourhood, with plenty of options for groceries, chemists, fast food, good food. The tube and overground is quite nearby, as is V&A Museum of Childhood, and scads of art galleries & artist's studios in nearby Shoreditch, Hoxton, Vyner Street and other East End locales.
If you're around on a Sunday morning, the Columbia Rd flower market is a must see, even if only once; it's such a crowd! Victoria Park is a short walk, as is Regent's Canal. I could go on, but suffice to say, this is a nice place, well outfitted, and worth a stay.
