Read More...Ellen's typical Victorian house is not far from Mile End tube station, so we were in the city centre very quickly. The area around the house is very quiet and not at all touristy, which we particularly liked. Ellen also gave us lots of tips for pubs and restaurants in the vicinity, and shopping in a small supermarket is also easy to do on foot. The house is very comfortable and nicely furnished. Thank you very much for this wonderful stay in London, a city that offers endless things to do.

Read More...Ellen's house was a real cozy haven for us. My husband was unwell and we could not visit London, but we relaxed and comforted ourselves by staying in this cozy house. Victorian-era building with large casement windows, renovated very well with original subdivision of space, bleached fir doors and floors, custom-made furniture and a fantastic bathroom ! Metro and market just a stone's throw away. Menomale, we were lucky ,despite everything.

Read More...Eine wunderschönes kleines, helles und sauberes londontypisches Haus mit einer sehr zuvorkommenden Gastgeberin. Sehr angenehme Gegend, vielfältige und schnelle Verkehrsverbindungen in das Herz von London. Im Haus alles vorhanden wie versprochen. Ellen war schon im Vorfeld wunderbar und hat jede meiner Fragen unmittelbar und sehr freundlich beantwortet. Sie ist sehr sorgfältig mit meiner Wohnung umgegangen, hat sie mir tadellos zurückgegeben und ich würde jederzeit mit Freuden erneut mit ihr tauschen.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Victoria Park is one of London's most beautiful parks - and we are lucky to have it on our doorstop! By the main lake there is the Pavillion Cafe - a lovely spot to have breakfast in the morning.
We also live only a few hundred meters from Regents Canal - a lovely waterway that you can walk along all the way to Kings Cross! Along this route you can stop by at a number of places with restaurants, small boutiques and cafes: Broadway Market and Lauriston Village are popular.
There are also a number of traditional pubs in the area. Head to Tredegar Square for the Morgan Arms, or the Palm Tree for a proper East End experience!
