Alex was very friendly and hospitable, very welcome after my journey! The room was terrific with ensuite bathroom, fridge, sink, kettle... I was able to function autonomously, it was basically like having my own apartment. The only thing was, because the room was street level, scooters nipping past were very loud. The neighbourhood was lovely, and five minutes from the Barbican where I spent most of my time. During the day, the street perpendicular was full of street vendors selling food of all sorts, and there were supermarkets etc. only 5 mins up Old Street.

Thanks Alex, I'll definitely be back!
