I had a blast at Maureen's. I stayed there for a full month and found access to the city no problem at all. Dalston is a great area I had fun exploring and only a short walk to the action. Maureen and her family were always friendly to me. It wasn't fun wearing masks in common areas but I think we're all used to that by now. Everything was kept clean which I appreciated. Had a number of nice conversations with Maureen and she was accommodating when I needed help. Highly recommend you stay here and of course goes without saying a great value!
