I stayed in the flat for about four months. The place is well located as it's right between Aldgate East station (Tube) and Whitechapel station (Tube/ Overground), so it's quite easy to plan a journey to the central/ east london. In the meantime, a bus stop is just around the corner from the building, which was very convenient. Gianluca was a great host, he was always there and dealt with any issue promptly if needed. The area might feel slightly dodgy/ loud depending on the time, but it should not be a problem as long as you mind your own business (It's London after all...). Even in case anything happened, Gianluca would be there to help you as best as he can. There are quite a few cute little cafes/ restaurants around and it's very close to areas like Shoreditch/ Hackney so there's always a lovely place to pop in whenever you fancy some nice brakey or a coffee/tea. There're also some grocery shops very nearby that are open till late.
