The host's flatmates greeted me and were friendly and helpful. The room is in a largish share house right at the top of the house. The other housemates are all well-travelled and open people so I felt comfortable there. The house is located about 10 minutes walk from Homerton station.
The room could have been a bit tidier and cleaner. The owner's clothes and other belongings were all around the room, not leaving much room to put my things.
