Good location

Pleasant little flat in a quiet neighbourhood, close to public transit (Stepney Green tube less than five minutes away), a large Sainsbury & a couple of good pubs nearby. For evenings in, the TV was quirky (Apple TV doesn't enable access to regular programmes like BBC News or Sky Sports), but I wasn't home much in the evenings. Took a few turns to figure out the shower & the walls are v. thin: could hear all sorts of neighbour noise. The host was helpful when needed (came over one day to fix TV). Large & diverse personal library, I wouldn't touch for fear of having them crash like bricks :-)

A sweet, quiet spot in the heart of East London

As we dragged our luggage out of the Stepney Green Tube stop and headed toward the apartment a few blocks away, I wasn't sure if I had picked the right spot. The neighborhood is high-density, without much green, but it turned out to be a quiet neighborhood of working people, many women in hijab and health care workers from the nearby hospital, and there was not a sound to be heard even (especially, maybe) on Friday night. The apartment is smallish, but I've been in smaller, and it's been carefully prepared for visitors, with a comfortable bed, art on the walls, a library of art/political science/culture books within reach of the bed, and restful colors. The appliances, kitchen and bathroom look new and well cared for; it was nice to find boxes of tea and sugar in the kitchen. There was even a tiny freezer,which as an American I assumed would be standard--but that is not the case in Britain! There is an air cleaner that doubles as a fan and made it very comfortable even in the unusually hot weather; the big windows opened to add a breeze. But I have to say the star of the show was Brett, the owner, who was super responsive even though he was in Canada at the time, and who helped us speak to his lockbox system when we had trouble initially. He went out of his way to be helpful overall and I felt very confident that if there was anything we needed, he would be on it immediately. I'd happily stay there again!

Charmingly decorated small flat for short stays

Charmingly decorated flat in a quiet East London neighborhood between the Stepney Green and Bethnal Green undergrouond stations (closer to Stepney Green). Clothes washer/dryer a plus. The flat is very compact and has no closet space or dresser, so we had to improvise space to live out of our open suitcases (one on the sofa and one on the large counter space in the kitchen. The bed is a queen size and quite comfortable and the neighborhood is quiet, so we got a good night's rest. But the shower is very small and has no shelf or hand grips. The flat is one flight up from the entrance to the building. We stayed for three weeks and it was a bit awkward living out of our suitcases. We think this flat would be better suited to younger travelers staying for shorter periods of time. Brett is a terrific host and whenever we needed assistance he was quick to help.

Time well spent!

Fabulous flat. Clean, cozy and comfortable. Everything was very walkable from this location and there were many tube stops to choose from. The manager/owner was very helpful and responsive to any questions. Will definitely book again if accommodations are needed in that part of town.

About the host

Hosted by Brett Mortensen

I’ve lived in London eleven years. I work for a tech company and previously in the art world.

Why they chose this property

I bought this property because it’s in the heart of the action. East London is super popular among young people and there is so much to love about the area: wonderful parks, great food, cool people.

I’ve filled the flat with antiques and design and mementos from my travels and I hope you’ll agree that it’s super cosy and homey.

What makes this property unique

I put a lot of thought (and money) into creating a comfortable home. So you’ll find natural fibres on the bed and furniture and feather filled pillows and wool blankets everywhere!
