the apartment was located near to many restaurants and bars and if you want to try something somewhere else there are bus stops nearby. I loved the area and spent most of the time there, there are also a lot of stores and shops and on saturdays there is the brick lane market offering an interesting food, art and clothing market. the apartment itself was small but absolutely enough for two people with small luggage and besides that I loved the colorful interior and all the pictures hanging on the walls it had two big windows so the room was pretty bright in the daytime.
