The room is just how it looks in the photo and it is quiet and private with a great bathroom just next door. The neighbourhood looks like it might be a bit rough but we felt safe, welcome and at ease all the time including walking home late on a Friday night. Donovan was very polite and offered help and advice when checking us in. The only drawback was that there was confusion about our arrival time meaning that we stood outside his flat for 45 minutes waiting for him to arrive home to let us in. So I'd highly recommend that you double check with him about arrival times to ensure you are not left waiting. Other than that, I would highly recommend this place. It's only a five-ten minute walk to busy Shorditch highstreet with loads of pubs and all sorts of eateries. It's get great transport very close too.
