We had a wonderful day at Erik's home- it's on a quiet street which is exactly what you need after a day romping around the city. It is clean and comfortable- almost set up like a showroom so you dont feel like you're invading someone's personal space. It is clear he is a passionate traveler and his decorating reflects it. Once you see his map of places he's visited, it will undoubtedly inspire your next trip. He was very easy to deal with and everything went smoothly. His flat is walking distance to the tube, and several restaurants including a little market right on the corner with delicious sandwiches. It is a lovely walk to the easy river ferry, and you will see a lot if what Williamsburg has to offer on your journey. Bedford, the main drag is only a ten minute walk and is full of life, pubs and shops. We would definitely stay at Erik's place again- thanks for the hospitality Erik!!!
