My stay was absolutely fantastic in every way. The flat was very bright and clean with a modern bathroom and a spacious bedroom. The double bed was so comfortable that I slept like a baby during each of my nights. I generally have high standards when it comes to travel accommodations, so I was definitely impressed with my room here.

The hosts were very friendly and accommodating. They were down to earth and made me feel welcome. They gave recommendations for some amazing restaurants and bars; delicious British cuisine (yeah, you read that right) that was also kind to my wallet. They were happy to help me out by offering tips on what to see and by answering any questions that I had.

The flat is in a great area – on a quiet residential street but only steps away from the best restaurants, nightlife, boutiques and markets in the vibrant neighbourhood of Shoreditch (including two bars on the World’s 50 Best Bars list that my hosts pointed out to me). In fact, there was so much to see in the neighbourhood that I ended up spending most of my time there. There’s a hip pop-up mall, Brick Lane for the best curry and the beautiful Regents Canal to stroll along that are all within walking distance. For all the other sights in London, there’s a tube station about five minutes away. After having visited London many times before, I can’t believe that I had missed out on all the fun that there is to be had in Shoreditch.

To be honest, I can’t say that there were any negatives to this Airbnb. Staying here made my trip to London all the better, and I know where I’ll be booking the next time I make it back. I would definitely recommend it!
