Very clean, nice flat. Fourth floor with no lift. Stayed for 4 nights. Neighborhood not very clean, and I came back before dark each day, but I felt safe after a couple days and ventured out at night. East London is left behind by the city, but still fine. The alley could use a light but not their fault. Subway is close and is the way to navigate London. We didn’t rent a car but saw every part of London through trains, bus and cab.
