I was glad that I stayed with Mary. She was a kind and excellent host who gave me plenty of privacy while also providing me with any questions that I had. Not only that, she waited for me to arrive to check me in despite my arrival to her place taking longer than expected. Located on a quiet street, the place is only a short walk to the bus. The pubs and restaurants surrounding Dalston Junction all made for a pleasant nightlife and had I more time, I would travel farther to other parts in search of more good food and drink.
