A great, clean apartment in a secure block in a very safe area. There are excellent transport links (Stratford International for DLR and high speed trains to St Pancras International), Westfield Mall for every shop you could possibly need and the beautiful Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. We went for the International Athletics Event and it was perfect to be able to avoid the crowds at the tube and be home in 25 minutes.
Best of all, we loved the vibe of East Village with the lovely independent food shops and cafes and the wonderful Sunday market with amazing street performers which was just across the road.
