I stayed at Nina's apartment for a month and really enjoyed my stay. Nina was a great host and made me feel very welcome. We often enjoyed a nice cup of tea together and she had great advice on shopping, places to visit and how to get to different points in town in the most efficient way.
The apartment is new, clean, and conveniently located. The 323 and 309 bus stops are just about 5 mins away and Mile End is about 15 mins away, so generally it would take around 30- 35 mins to get to the city center. There is a local grocery shop that's about 5 mins away. There are no pubs or cafes around but Canary Wharf is close by. The room was very clean and I had everything that I needed. The apartment is very quiet at night.
I definitely recommend staying at Nina's apartment.
