Our stay was incredibly enjoyable. Chris and Leroy were SO welcoming and helpful. They immediately put us at ease and after just a couple of days it felt more like staying with friends than with people we’d met mere days ago.

Chris was only there for part of our stay, but he was a fantastic resource, providing tips on how to get to and from the airport to their house and telling us about a maps app that we could use without data roaming. (There was a tube strike two of the days we were there and he made sure we knew how to use the bus system to get around). Leroy was so warm and welcoming and agreeable, always willing to answer questions or give recommendations for food or activities. We spent a lot of time conversing with our hosts rather than holing ourselves up in our room - they were so interesting and so much fun to talk to.

Breakfast was delicious. Leroy usually chatted with us and made sure we knew how to get where we were going that day.

The room itself was clean and comfortably fit the two of us. The location was great. It’s within walking distance of the Whitechapel tube stop, which is only about 10-20 minutes away from the city center (depending on where you’re going). It’s also very close to Brick Lane, which has a lot of cool restaurants and pretty graffiti. Overall, it was a great experience and I would highly recommend staying with Chris and Leroy.
