My stay at Dick&Bob's place was my first experience using AirBnb and it was a great one. I spent four nights at their place and everything was very relaxed. Despite the fact I had some problems to get to their place due to some inconvenience with the train connection, D&B were extremely helpful and Bob picked me up at Haggerston Station. The room as well as the rest of the house is clean and everything you might need is provided (plug adapters, clean towels and bed sheets, an umbrella for the unpredictable weather…). There are even ear plugs but the noise coming from the street is negligible. I really enjoyed having breakfast together with them, since D&B have great stories worth listening and at the same time they also give you a lot of recommendations concerning places to see and check out.
The area: Within a 5minute walk you can reach Haggerston Overground Station, a bus station from where you can easily go to Liverpool Street within 10-15 minutes and a supermarket. Overall, this place is a good starting point if you want to explore Hackney or Shoreditch. I highly recommend staying at D&B’s place. They are great hosts and they immediately give you the feeling to be welcomed. If I have the chance to visit London again, I would definitely book my room with these great hosts.
