Our host was there, waiting in the flat, to welcome us on arrival. Which was special and very much appreciated.
Incredibly, two sets of keys were provided for us (we only used one).
Brand new mattress covering and bedding was made available for me to sleep on the very comfortable and spacious sofa.
We were four (two adults and two teenagers: two sisters and two cousins!): the space was just right for us.
The location of the flat was also perfect too: so close to Columbia road (where we had delicious coffee at a small baker's) and Brick Lane (where the older teenager greatly enjoyed the vintage shops!).
One bus ride away from the centre: handy.
Also: we were provided with toiletries as requested because we tried to travel as light as possible: thank you for that, Lyndy.
