Carla is an ABSOLUTE gem! She was friendly, polite, respectful and welcoming. The flat was exactly as described and she even let me borrow a hair dryer for my stay and use the washing machine. As a solo female traveller, I felt safe and comfortable in Carla's home.
The only drawback for me, and something that could not be helped by Carla, was the noise from the overground nearby. The flat is in a prime location, close to Bethnal Green overground and underground, however the downside is that you can hear the rumble every 5 minutes or so until it stops running. I am a very light sleeper and found it fairly bothersome. Otherwise, absolutely no complaints and despite the noise, I would 100% stay again due to how wonderful and warm Carla was and how nice the flat is. Thank you so much Carla, I can't wait to see you again.
