Shankar Ali is a great host who will go out of his way to make sure you are having a pleasant stay. I loved the apartment and its location. Beds were comfortable.
Well located near a bus stop and the tube stations, Barbican and Old Street are a short walk away.
There are some excellent pubs, coffee shops and supermarkets in the neighbourhood
Go to Waitrose for the freshest croissants and other breakfast items. Even Pret a Manger is not far away and is well known for its freshly prepared snacks.
St Paul's Cathedral is a place I would strongly recommend which is easy to reach by bus and you can also visit the amazing Tate Modern Gallery in the same area.
