Although we only stayed for a few nights, Alex was such a helpful and attentive host and his apartment is gorgeous! Very charming and spacious. There is tons to do nearby (nightlife, restaurants, etc.) and we especially loved the Columbia Road Flower Market that happens on Sundays in Shoreditch. The Old Street tube station is right on the corner which made getting to other parts of London extremely easy as well. We would definitely return to Alex's in the future!
