I recently spent a month with Tiziana and Mattia (and Zizi the cat!) and it's a place I would certainly recommend. The room itself is a clean, cosy single room, and has lots of storage space for those staying a bit longer. The bathroom is really big, and the kitchen facilities are really good as well. Tiziana is a great host, who lets you stay on your own terms. Because I wasn't travelling, I wasn't in the need of local tips or anything, and she let me just use the room as a base, and I was very appreciative of that. The house is also very well located right next to Mile End park, and just a 5 minute walk from Mile End station itself.
