I didn't get to meet Francesca in person, as she was away attending a wedding when I arrived. There was a slight mix-up with getting the keys to the flat, which were not with the concierge but were in her mailbox, which we found out after getting in with his spare key and reading the house manual in the flat! However, Francesca was very apologetic about the confusion and explained that because she was at a wedding she didn't get to the flat to check up on everything before I arrived. But other than that I had a pleasant stay in her cosy flat, which is ideal for a solo traveler or couple. Although there is no nearby Tube station, the overground station (Homerton) is about a 15 minute walk away and is a short ride to the Highbury and Islington Tube station on the Victoria line. Plus there are plenty of buses within walking distance, including one which stops right outside the building. There's a nice view overlooking the local park and you can walk to shops, restaurants which are close by. The location is also very close to a path that runs along the river Lee, where you can walk to more shops and restaurants, and observe the house boats on the water. It was good having the space to oneself and I would certainly recommend it and stay there again.
