Dougie and Gretta were really great. They are both super responsive on email and were really helpful in getting me situated. Dougie's place is wonderful. It has a great view over the canal and is right next to Victoria Park which is great for strolling around in. The neighborhood is quiet but has a couple of great pubs and a really nice selection of restaurants. Getting in to Central London is quite easy by either bus (there's a stop ver close) or tube (a short walk away). It's also close to a number of the up and coming neighborhoods. The place itself is really nice with a very comfortable bed, a good amount of space and all the amenities. Overall I would definitely stay in Dougie's place again and I recommend it for anyone looking for a laid back home base while in London.
