I can’t recommend this apartment enough if you are wanting a neighborhood experience while staying in London but wanting to be close enough to get to the “big” points of interest. Being just minutes away from the Central Line through the Bethnal Green Underground station or the District Line from Whitechapel Station is really ideal. Also, use the many bus lines to connect to areas not in your tourist book. Also, spend time on Bethnal Green Road. The Sun Tavern and Second Shot Coffee were particular favorites. Because you are staying at an apartment, take advantage of the many markets/supermarkets near by.
This apartment is very clean and comfortable. The layout is open and up-to-date (fantastic shower!) Sadie was incredibly responsive. The apartment is on the top (4th floor). No lift, so just be prepared. But this is Europe and very common. The views toward The City are amazing. It’s a small building and very quiet. A nice respite after what will be very busy days.
