Was a great stay in East London. Very different vibe than the Central London area which I enjoyed for a few days toward the end of my trip. Very artsy and local music community - but note that if you’re here on a Monday - Wednesday it is very quiet. Night life seems to pick up more Thursday - Saturday which is when more is happening in the area.
East back and forth to Central London but ONLY if the Overground is running, which given the rail strikes was a bit tricky to navigate. So plan extra time and look ahead before heading to the train.
Hosts are VERY responsive and huge bonus of having washer in unit. Be prepared to hang dry as there’s no dryer. Didn’t think about it myself ahead of time, so plan accordingly. There is a clothing rack with plenty of hanger to hang dry items.
Overall would recommend for anyone wanting to experience the up and coming East London music/bar scene. But not ideal if you plan a regular back and forth to Central London!
