This place was a very good deal for a few days' stay. Johannes was friendly and checked in periodically to make sure my stay was going OK. He was very responsive the few times I had to message him. His former former roommates, who still live in the apartment, mostly weren't there at the same time as I was, so privacy was generally good (though the walls are a bit thin so you might hear people conversing in the next room from time to time). It was a very short walk to the Mile End station. With other places in the area costing hundreds of pounds a night, this place is a steal if you don't mind staying in an apartment with several other residents. Recommended.
