Very nice, clean flat! O was awesome to communicate with and didn't complain when we changed our arrival time a couple of times. Great working internet and tv. Comfy bed, modern kitchen and bathroom amenities and best of all a fantastic shower (which I've found to rarely be the case in the UK).

Two things though: I've stayed in London many times, but never in east London. I thought because as this flat is in Zone 2, near Zone 1 and several train stations, it would be quick and easy into central London. Not the case. Average of 40 - 60 minutes total travel time to get to most of it. I thought the Underground was close, but was over 10 minutes walk and the Overground stations were rarely useful, also quite a walk, except 1 that only has trains that go further out. The bus stop is right out front and what we ended up using most of the time, but takes forever. Great for night buses though, although again, takes forever. As for the neighborhood, not so great, and I was once accosted by a man as I was entering late. But if you need or want to stay in east London, this is the place.
Lastly, O kindly cleaned out the fridge with a few goodies left for us (they were for us, right?). Thanks O! However, I wish the same could be said for the rest of the house. The wardrobe was locked leaving us no place to unpack our clothes. The kitchen cabinets were also full, so we had to keep our food on the counter. It all left us to keep our stuff rather untidy, living out of our very full suitcases. I think we were his first long-term guests, so hopefully in the future, O will have some more spaces provided for guests to unpack.
