Lauren's flat has to be the most family and budget friendly flat in all of central London. The flat was clean and well equipped. The beds were comfortable, the TV and wifi were great, and the apartment has a washing machine and fully equipped kitchen. It's small and not super posh, but in that location and price range it pretty much blows any hotel out of the water and is an amazing deal. The proximity to the Old Street tube station is another huge selling point. Including walking time, it's about 10 minutes to the Monument and 15 minutes to the Tower of London and Tower bridge. There are several grocery stores, bars, and restaurants near by, and for family's with small children, you are situated in perfect delivery distance for all of the hip Shoreditch restaurants you might not be able to visit with all your kids in tow. Overall we had a great visit and Lauren was fantastically accommodating. We'll be looking to go back and stay with Lauren on our next trip to London.
