Mark is an absolutely lovely host and the room/apartment is great. As a solo female traveler, I felt very safe my entire stay. The apartment is in a great location in East London, with a bus stop right outside and a few minutes walk from Victoria Park, Broadway Market, and Mare Street Market. This is a great location if you want to stay in a relaxed, safe neighborhood but be relatively close to the busier areas (most commutes for me were 20-40 minutes by bus/train). Mark is very knowledgeable of things to do in London and gives lots of great recommendations! If you show up with no plan, he’d definitely be able to point you in the right direction! For transparency, I will say the train line outside the room can be a bit loud, so that’s something to consider if you are very sensitive to noise, but Mark does provide earplugs. Overall, great stay!
