We had an exceptional stay at Peter’s place. Check in was a breeze even at close to midnight. Peter’s colleague was around to open the door and passed us the keys. The accommodation is on the first level (one level after ground level). Staircase isn’t steep and there’s a landing for a break when u carry up your suitcase. Not a big issue for us even though we’re travelling with a baby. Really appreciate the attention to detail and personal touches. Particularly loved having a well stocked fridge/pantry, Aesop soaps and the location. A fan was provided upon request as it was summer and there isn’t any aircon (as with most places in London).
Peter was very accommodating and flexible on check in and check out timings. We did not meet but he was very responsive in his communication.
I picked this location because of its proximity to good coffee shops (Allpress and Watch House) and Old Spitalfields market. Walking distance to excellent restaurants like Dishoom, St John Bread and Wine, Smoking Goat, Andina, Brat, Hawksmoor etc. Also highly recommend the fresh pasta and sauces from Burro e Salvia (just a few doors down) which you can buy home and cook.
The only things to note would be:
1. We felt the bedding was on the softer side and would have preferred something firmer. However, that’s a personal preference. Just something to take note if one is particular.
2. Even though it’s on a quiet street, the odd noise from traffic and people talking really loudly should be expected if you open the windows as this is on the first level. Not recommended for very light sleepers.
All in all, we would not hesitate to recommend this accommodation to anyone. One of the best Airbnb accommodation we’ve stayed!
