If you are looking for somewhere East for a weekend or short trip then I can't recommend Nick's place enough. Chatsworth Rd is ace, very friendly and with convenience stores/off licence just across the road, the 242 going from just outside and take you right into town if you want to, it has everything you need.
The flat if beautiful, very clean and makes great use of space. There is everything you need in the flat and on top of all this Nick is a great host and we couldn't have asked for it to have been better. We'll certainly be back!
