I stayed with Gail for 6 weeks at the beginning of a 6-month London secondment- and I am glad I did! Gail is a kind, accommodating host. Her place is comfortable- kitchen has all the cooking supplies you need, bathroom has great water pressure, and the desk in the bedroom became a great work from home set up. The apartment is on the first floor of an apartment building, so there is street and neighbor noise. I got used to it after a few nights, no big problem. Bethnal Green is a cool area to be in. Tube station is a 5 minute walk away. Shoreditch, Victoria Park, Broadway Market, and Columbia Flower Market are all within a 15-25 minute walk. I would stay here again.
