Rachel's house is very nice and the beds are really confy. The kitchen is stylish and functional, and she left us tea and coffee for breakfast. The two bathrooms are a bonus, and the living room is spacious and bright. The neighborhood is fantastic (a side stret from Brick Lane, right in the middle of the action but still very quite). Tube and overground are less than 10 minutes walk, and buses to the center right next to the doorstep: it's the perfect base to explore East London & beyond. The only slight drawback is the distant background train noise: it is not strong (we slept very well, without any trouble), but it keeps you company...
