Sal is an extremely kind person, always ready to help. The location is incredibly close to tourist attractions, but also to the wonderful Brick Lane - that it has been a great and unexpected discovery. The apartment, as others pointed out, is noisy, but it depends on what you are looking for. A calm place miles away from the city centre or one that is less peaceful, but from which you can reach the city ten minutes by foot. So it's just a matter of choice and interests.
