Oren made me feel very much at home.I cannot recommend his place enough. I stayed with Oren while taking a course in london, and occassional chit-chat with Oren made for very pleasant living...

The room was as advertised (I had a chance to see it before sigining up)...two big windows, lots of light and air. The flat at large is nicely designed reflecting Oren's architectural instincts.

As for the neighbourhood, I know London very well, and quite simply East is best...the buses on the corner will get you to liverpool street in 10-15 min depending on traffic, and they come about every 5 min, and the you can get to Oxford Circus directly in 20 - 30 min, again bus comes about every 5 min.
