Shoreditch is a great location! Plenty of access to buses, not far from Liverpool Station, walkable to downtown if you have the time, and plenty of shops, restaurants, and pubs. Some pretty cool people watching, pop up shops and artistic graffiti, too.
Sara and Alex are welcoming and leave you to come and go as you wish. The room is huge and clean and you have your own sitting room and bathroom - pretty posh for London. There's room in the fridge and always something available for breakfast. There are "urban sounds" as we liked to joke about, from a 24 hr car wash that take a little getting used to. A one night stay may not prove so restful. But Sara and Alex provided ear plugs to ease into the sounds and truthfully, you do get somewhat used to it after a few days. Overall, a pleasant stay to take on London on your own!
