The whole family was very warm and friendly, and helpful when we needed it. We adults even stayed up til 2am one night talking, but the blinds in the room were dark enough that we could easily sleep late when we wanted to. We absolutely adored the neighborhood. It was literally our favorite part of London. Quiet, beautiful, safe, convenient, diverse, friendly, just really charming. We could easily walk or take a short bus ride to Spitalfields Market, which was another of our favorite experiences. The pub across the street, The Camel, serves delicious meat pies and seemed to be popular with young couples. Down the street (Globe) is a very good, healthy restaurant (The Larder), and a couple of places with cheap, fast food (1 Chinese and 1 with a mix of things but seemed to specialize in breakfast), and at the corner of Roman Rd. is a cooperative supermarket. The room was always warm enough (it was cool spring weather at the time), a bit short for tall people (we're not), but had enough space to spread out. The kitchen facilities were easy to use, even when the family wasn't there to ask questions. Nothing but positive things to say! :-)
