I like staying in the east of London. Stratford can easily be reached when landing at City Airport and it has nice Little Shops, from a simple Russian bakery to the Himalaya Restaurant and the large Shopping mall. Having said that, part of this area is quite rundown and some may not feel safe there; then again, absolute safety is nowhere. As for the house of David and Elsa, my room was really, which was what I was mainly looking for. Despite my late arrival, I received a warm welcome. There is also a kitchen that travellers can use. All was clean. The downside was that the room was quite cold, the heating could not be turned on, I think the temperature inside was similar to outside, i.e. around 15° Celsius. There's also some humidity. However, the price was really good for London and I suppose if I had said something, heating could have been turned on; but I arrived late at night.
