Fran made us have the perfect base to have a good time in London. He is a great host, makes you feel really welcome, and is an inspiring person. The place was even better than the beautiful foto impression on airbnb. It was a joy to be in the vibrant area the fish island is. We ran into an interesting photo event at stour, drank amazing coffee around the corner at ethical bean company, a small family business with vegan and vegetarian food and went by bike to the scenic path along river Lea. We took electric bicycles (Lyme, they are everywhere available) and drove to the city and also public transport to the heart of London was easy.
