I spent two and half months at Luca's place. The flat itself is the same as described here. Fantastic location! Shoreditch high street, Old street, Liverpool Street, Hoxton stations are all in walking distance. 55 can bring you to Oxford Circus and 48 to London Bridge; the bus station is just downstairs. The flower market in Columbia Road every Sunday is a must-go which takes you only 5min walk.
Luca is a good host, very friendly and helpful. Don't hesitate to ask him for any food tips or restaurant recommendation as you can trust an Italian's taste. :D
Any way… pleasant stay here and I would certainly book this place again if I'm going back to London!
