This was my first AirBnB experience and I loved it! The Shoreditch/Hackney/Hoxton area is full of everyday Londoners and fabulous cafés. The proximity to the Hoxton Overground station is a big plus, but after a couple days I preferred the bus for many of my journeys. The building itself is not the prettiest (but by no means is it bad), but the actual flat is perfectly home-y. The kitchen and fridge are big, and the bathroom is full size. The bed was comfortable too.
I had some trouble obtaining my key from the grocer. They just kept telling me that they didn't have it without even looking to see if they did or not. So if you have to get your key from them, don't be afraid to be pushy! Alex did help me remedy the situation as quickly as possible. All in all, a great stay.
