Davide was a friendly and very responsive host. The apartment is just around the corner from Mile End tube station and is in a quiet residential area, it is very safe. There is a Tesco Express about 8-10 min. per foot away and also little neighborhood shops which are closer. The balcony has nice sun and is great for enjoying a coffee or even breakfast or dinner there! We were there in March and had nice sun to sit out for a while. Don't miss out on the roof terrace, you have a SUPERB view of the skyline there and you can sit out there for coffee or a picnic too! It's on the 4th floor, not the top floor.
The apartment was clean, the beds were comfy and large and the bathrooms were spacious, Davide even provided little bottles of shampoo and such. The kitchen was well equipped, just bring your own spices and stuff. The living room has a shelf with games and books, and because we were in London we didnt miss a TV at all!
All in all it was a good experience, I would stay again.
