Alan is a fantastic host. i had major booking payment challenges but he kept my reservation for 3-4 days so i could confirm booking - very considerate of him. The place is very good, house rules simple and well placed to get to Bethenal Green Station in 5-7 minutes walk. the place has a lift so no need to lug luggage to 4th floor. The Regent's canal and parks are very near. The room is verrrry spacious and has a large cupboard with huge storage. the location is very peaceful and has good connections to town by bus. not many eateries outside. 1 recommendation - some small rugs/ carpets in bathroom/ room would be great.
