I had an absolutely wonderful time staying with Linda and her daughter Abby. I was at the end of a two week trip and my days in London were mostly for resting and exploring the immediate neighborhood. Since they had lived there their whole lives, they knew all the places to check out and how to get to them. The weather was pretty good so I did long walks each day I was there. We even shared a few meals and had so many lively conversations about the local history and culture. The room was ample and comfortable. The bath and rest of the house were clean and airy and the two cats were amusing. The neighborhood was relatively quiet and easy to get around by bus and walking to museums, parks, restaurants, outdoor markets and shops.

I highly recommend staying in East London for all the local color, diversity, history, cuisine, curiosities and staying with Linda made it all the more engaging. We started the morning over coffee and sometimes ended the day over a glass of wine. Very easy-going.
