We found this to be a great base to explore the east end of London, and the city as well, with easy access to trains and buses. The apartment is roomy, the kitchen had all we needed, the bed was comfy and the area was nice and quiet. It was a pleasant place to return to after each busy day of sightseeing. Although we didn't meet Tom in person, he was great with communication, making check in easy for us, and leaving a good instruction manual.
