I got in touch with Rich before I arrived so he could meet me & show me around. The neighbourhood is safe & there are 2 restaurants down the road along with some grocery stores.

The number 8 bus takes you to Shoreditch (highly recommended place to visit). There is a lot of food on Sunday as the market takes place then. The bus also stops as Bethnal Green tube station if you wanna get onto the tube & into the city. If you have the time, you could take the bus into the city as well, be sure to look it up on Google maps.

Even though Rich does not have a dryer, do not fear. I hung my clothes in the cupboard provided & left the door open and it was dry by the time I got back at night. Just a note, Rich does not provide soap for laundry.

We managed to chat for bit every now & then and as a good host, Rich also recommended a few places to check out. Overall, I would recommend this place to anyone, as long as you're alright with not having an elevator in the building.

Thanks for hosting me! :)
