Karen and Ken's place in East London is awesome. The neighbourhood is really cute, with the Columbia Flower market (a must-see) right around the corner. It's easy to get to the tube and to get around the city from where they are, and the walk downtown (Tower of London, financial district) is only about 45 minutes. The place is big and clean and comfy, and a perfect home base outside the hustle and bustle of some other areas, while still feeling very connected. It's close to Shoreditch, which is an amazing area to check out. The bed is insanely comfortable and the amenities in the apartment are great. Lovely view overlooking a park. Karen and Ken have thought of everything, and even left me little espresso pods and a machine (I mentioned I loved coffee when I arrived after traveling). Thanks so much! Loved my trip.
