Sasha was a very gracious host--very sweet and accommodating. He was also very quick to respond, which was helpful as I was traveling with intermittent cellular data. Neighborhood is slightly north of busy and hip Shoreditch neighborhood. Great home base from which to explore East London. Room was clean and comfortable. Sasha and friends invited me out with them but I declined as I had an early flight. Highly recommend this listing for solo travelers looking for nightlife but host and friends were also quiet and respectful while in the flat.
