I appreciate unique experiences and meeting new friends when I travel. This, by far, was one of my most favorite stays. Desmond, Chachi Lu, the lovely staff of Foklore, and Manoush the cat; all made my visit to London a magical and welcoming experience. Desmond is very communicative, helpful and friendly. Chachi Lu welcomed me to the flat and made sure I was able to get in and find the right door. The Folklore staff from the bar downstairs, welcomed me with warm smiles every night. And last but certainly not least, Manoush the friendly cat who runs the building, took care of me while I was sick. I felt I had made a new family. I should add that the location is perfect, with plenty of shops, restaurants, train station and Columbia Road market only a few minutes walk. The flat is super clean and sunny with plenty of small touches to make it feel like home, such as extra toiletries, charging station and oh so comfortable heated bedding. The space is well sound proofed so the noise downstairs from the bar is not a problem. Folklore is my new favorite spot in London. I recommend checking it out for good music and creative performances. I was very happy in this magical jungle flat in Shoreditch, sad to leave, and am looking forward to coming back soon for a longer stay soon.
