I have stayed with Catia and her husband for four months so far, and they have been happy to offer me another room, as my stay has been prolonged.
I have been delighted with their service. They are very friendly and helpful, without being too intrusive and, as mentioned, they have been very accommodating and patient with my changing circumstances. Likewise, the household as a whole, even with various people coming and going, is usually calm and quiet.

The room is small, but has been a very pleasing place to return to after being out. The kitchenette is great, and there are plenty of places to store things. Also, the bathroom is conveniently right next to it. The tram stop is just around the corner from the house, and one can easily use the trams to get to a few train stations which take one to central London (which I've had to do often when going to work in Hackney).

I have appreciated my stay here, and recommend it to anyone looking for a brief stay in London, or as a stepping stone to a permanent move.
