I read the reviews and I knew exactly what I was booking and was happy with my stay. I was not looking for luxury so I got exactly what I was looking to book. First of all the host is fantastic and communication was very timely and courteous. The room itself was very clean and what I wanted – it was larger than I thought it would be, had a double bed, a tv, a small table and chairs. The toilet was a walk down a short flight of stairs. The room was clean and the bedding was fresh. It was a quiet location. It was easy to find from the Aldgate station and there were coffee shops and restaurants and pubs nearby. The only thing that could use a little update is the shower room but the water was hot and it’s fine for a short stay.
