Pros: close to all kinds of transit, walkable to Brick Lane and Whitechapel gallery, good price for being in London, friendly and responsive host.
Be mindful when you book:
we knew the place was small but the bathroom was even smaller (and a bit grungier) than expected, and the kitchen was almost too small for us chunky Americans to even use. If you have any mobility issues, perhaps choose another place as there are steep stairs up to the place. And the bedroom has a musty, standing water smell by the wall by the bed, we switched off who had to sleep by the wall.
Good to use as a crash pad, but not particularly pleasant to hang out in should you wish for a day in.
