Elyse's place was exactly what we needed for our stay in London. Her flat is clean, cute and convenient. She's a five minute walk from two different rail stations, which are both one stop away from Liverpool Street, a major rail hub and an easy trip from Stansted Airport. I would recommend checking out the Sun Tavern for some tasty cocktails and other drinks - it's an intimate, friendly spot for a quiet(er) drink. She's also a 10 minute walk from Shoreditch if you want to eat, drink or shop in a hipper part of town.
One regret - we were too busy with our friend's wedding that we didn't get to enjoy Elyse's killer patio! It's completely private from the street and is a peaceful place to eat your cooked-in meal or enjoy a coffee.
