My friend and I stayed at Isa's flat for about a week, and we were very comfortable and felt very welcomed! Isa and her flatmate were extremely friendly. Shoreditch is close in proximity to the major sights in London without being so expensive and touristy. The walk from the flat to the closest Underground station (Old Street) was only about 5-7 minutes, and my friend and I often walked all the way home to Shoreditch from clear across London. It's about a 30 minute walk to St. Paul's, and about a 15 minute walk from the Museum of London. It's not the greatest area of town, but I didn't feel unsafe walking here with my friend; we were pretty comfortable walking at night here. The flat itself was clean and cozy, and the decoration is just as cute as the pictures make it seem.
