Literally, the best place to snag! It's right in the best area of London(in my opinion). Close the Over ground station and bus stops on the Bethnal Green high street. So many great restaurants a 5-minute walk away, vintage shopping on Brick Lane, the famous Flower market also 5 minutes away. Alex also has the most beautiful and lush plants around the flat.
Their interior design is modern and with great colours. You’re set with pretty much everything, from cleaning supplies, iron, USB outlets, and a little fan for the hot days in London. For those who are from counters where air conditioners are the norm, London is not set up that way, haha, so it can get hot!
It might throw some off that the toilet and shower aren't in the same room, but both have a hand wash sink. It a good to know. There's also a washer in the flat and rack to dry(for all the North Americans visiting, lol). Also had to do a quick clean of the shower and hand sink and kitchen.
Alex’s partner stops by occasionally to water the plants and may sleeps over in the other bedroom. Both Alex and his partner are very responsive to any questions or accommodations. I was able to adjust my stay, which I really appreciated.
