Have been to a few Airbnb places in London, but none of them felt like HOME. That feeling doesn't come just from the place, but the whole interaction with the people that live there. I must say there was no awkwardness while communicating with Mary, and even after we met it felt like she was a friend I went to visit. That is important when you are about to live in the same house with someone you never met. The house is even more beautiful in real life than the photos. Very spacious place. Clean and tidy. Everything in the house was carefully arranged, it felt like a piece of art. I loved the fact that there were big windows all over the house so we had plenty of natural light. The bedroom is gigantic, we had our own en-suit bathroom and desk area ( which was transformed in a makeup place). Huge built in wardrobes, that fit the cloths of 2 girls with 4 big luggages. The bathroom was clean, had soap and plenty of toilet paper. We even got towels, converters for plugs and a hairdryer. The bed was very spacious, I like to roll around in my sleep and didn't manage to reach my friend. It was divine to sleep, comfortable mattress and 2 big pillows each. Also liked the fact that on each side there were plugs. The bedroom had nice painting and plenty of interesting books about art laying in the bookcase. The ground floor is communal space, were the kitchen and living space is. Must admit that I love having breakfast at my own pace , so I took full advantage of the kitchen which had everything I needed: kettle, pans, fridge ( went shopping the first evening to stock some food for breakfast). The best surprise was that even if I cooked on holiday I didn't had to wash, as there was a dishwasher! The living space is amazing, however I don't really watch TV, but I did notice an Apple TV which I can see the use of. The garden ( YES GARDEN IN LONDON), its nice to use even in the British weather, had my morning tea everyday at the table outside and planned the day ahead. My friend enjoyed it the most as she could smoke and sit at the lovely table while she was reading news. Shoreditch is an amazing area. Plenty of good independent places to eat or if you are more traditional you have also chain restaurants. Nice shops around, there also a Tesco 10 min away and a Sainsbury just 5 min away. The tube station Old Station is literally 5 min walking distance. Mary's place is situated just behind the main road, even so it is completely quite and away from the street buzzing. Mary, which was always relaxed and nothing was to much to ask. She even gave us some amazing advice about transport and eating out. Some evening we arrived at the place...
