Metsa's flat in Shoreditch was absolutely brilliant! If you enjoy staying in a unique and well designed home, then you're sure to be impressed by this converted studio loft. Nested in a turn-of-the-century building, I particularly loved how the metalwork and bricks of the original structure were exposed and integrated into the functional and contemporary design of the space. There's also a spacious rooftop deck, and if you're lucky enough to catch London in good weather, then it's a great place to hang out and enjoy a good view.
Since Metsa was away on business when we arrived, her wonderful mother and sister let us in, gave us a tour of the flat and a provided several great recommendations of things to do in the area. Despite what was clearly a busy work travel itinerary, Metsa was very friendly and responsive to all my questions throughout our stay.
The location also really is perfect- Shoreditch is a really fun area, with lots of shops, cool bars, and plenty of things to do. It's also quite centrally located and there's a tube stop right across the street from the building.
I would highly recommend Metsa's flat, and hope I have the opportunity to return myself in the future!
