We stayed at Tristan's apartment for over three weeks. The best thing about the apartment is the view: it overlooks the Victoria Park and there is a nice cafe at the park that serves good coffee and pancakes. It was a treat to be able to wake up in the morning to such a nice view.
The living room is huge and the master bedroom is spacious. The second bedroom is smaller but perfectly okay for short-term stay.
The apartment is about a 15 min walk to the tube - Mile End or Bethnal Green. You can also take a bus down to Mile End, which we did most of the time. Close to Bethnal Green is the V&A museum, which is superb for children.
We had a small issue getting into the apartment as the gate was extremely difficult to unlock. Following the 20 minute effort to unlock the gate, we never locked it again. I would suggest that Tristan look into repairing his gate to make check in easier.
In addition, we thought the bathrooms could be cleaner. The shared bathroom was cleaner than the ensuite shower (which we never used due to the mildew) but they both could use a good scrub.
That being said, Tristan was very helpful and responsive to our queries. He even came down to fix the heating when we couldn't get hot water. Thank you Tristan for hosting us!
