Ian's place is a calm oasis really near the EXCEL venue where I was working. The bus goes straight there. There is a lovely park that you can walk through to get to Tesco Direct. ( for wine ! haha) Ian is a very welcoming host and the room is really great for a basement room it is light and has a door and window into the garden (wild) but just to look at is lovely. But I like wild things! COMFIEST BED AND PILLOWS EVER. Ian sleeps in the kitchen living room. Parking is a first come first served situation outside I was lucky both nights. Suited me fine. It's really affordable and so don't expect a hotel - for the price.... no complaints whatsoever. Total bargain.
