Thara's place is in a converted warehouse which is pretty funky if you are into that sort of thing (we found it an intriguing residence in general, but the flat itself is pretty conventional). The bedroom is in a shared flat and it tidy and comfortable. We were attracted to the property because of (a) welcoming pets (which they very much did as the housemates gushed over our dogs much to the dogs' delight), and (b) value (we were just looking for an inexpensive place to crash on the east side of London. But the best part of the property is the friendly, attentive attitude of the host. The communications throughout were very prompt and helpful and when we hit a hiccup the host was very understanding and helpful.
