Our family of 7 adults had a great stay at Claires house in early September. The location was within walking distance to the Mile End tube station and the number 8 bus (right outside the door) which goes to the Bethnal Green or Liverpool tube stations or number 388 (I think?) Which drops you near Mile End tube. You are also near a few parks which were nice for exploring.
When we arrived at the house we learned their was a miscommunication between Claire and her housekeeper Nellie, and the house was not clean. We were able to reach Claire in Bali, and she got her housekeeper and friends to come over and clean while we took a walk to get some food.
The house has three bedrooms and we put two, two and three (upstairs room with bathroom, we used mattress from couch on first floor) guests in each room, and that worked great. As a previous reviewer mentions there are no hand towels, so bring your own, otherwise we had what we needed.
As mentioned in the posting, the lighting is very different. Our group didn't care for the different colors much and would have preferred regular lighting, but we managed. The heated flooring in the top floor bathroom made up for it!
Also, the hot water did not last for everyone to take a shower. Several of us ended up taking cold showers during our week long stay.
The locking and unlocking of the doors was a little confusing to a few of us and somehow in the mix of packing and leaving for our next destination, someone in our group inadvertently took one of the side door keys with us. We are mailing that back to Claire now.
Overall, a great experience for our first trip to London and Claire was responsive to our questions and needs.
