Axana is a great host! Communication was superb and she met me at the tubs station, gave me a mini tour of the local area and showed me the short cut to the apt. The apt itself is really clean and Axana's room is so comfortable you wont want to get out of bed. I was a little worried walking through the small park to get to the apt but as Axana rightly assured me it was very safe and well lit. The apt is really close to the Mile End tube station where you can get the central, circle or district lines into Central London in less than 30 mins. The others living in the apt are nice and friendly when you do see them which is not very much at all. There isn't a shared living room at all but Axana's room is pretty big and it has a comfy couch so I felt I had somewhere to chill in the evenings. Her room was spotless and she had made room in the wardrobe and shelves for my stuff. She left towels plus she offered me the use of Shampoo and conditioner AND even left some food which was great for breakfasts. I couldn't recommend her more as a host. She want there herself for the duration of the stay as I was taking her room but with all the help and advice plus the few texts to check that everything was going ok I felt really well taken care of.
