Quaint apartment in East London with a gorgeous garden when it doesn't rain. I did not meet the hostess but she communicated well ahead of check-in. Carlotta was kind enough to allow an early check-in after a gruelling 22-hour transcontinental flight. Unfortunately the key exchange did not happen as smoothly as planned - the previous guest forgot to deposit the keys in the safe so I had to figure out a way of resolving access in torrential rains. This was of course none of her fault, and her father managed to resolve the issue quickly. The apartment could have been cleaner but also forgivable in light of the early check-in.
