Jane was very gracious and welcomed me very early in the morning on New Years' Eve! She is generous, kind, and very calm. The room is absolutely perfect. You can see how nicely it is decorated in the picture online. The view from the window is a long garden, and, if you raise your eyes, on the horizon are the skyscrapers (the Gherkin and the Shard), which changed colors to greet the New Year. The neighborhood is fantastic. London Fields Park was still green in early January. Broadway Market (just two blocks down the road) have everything you can possible imagine. It is a hip neighborhood but also suits those of us no longer seeking that particular category. E5 is just across the park and has the best bread ever. Hackney Picture House is also just a short walk away. I loved staying at Jane's and look forward to repeating the experience. Her son and Custard are charming, too.
