Metsa's apartment is even more gorgeous in person and location-wise it is perfect. Metsa is a great host and quick to respond to messages. Our flight was super delayed, our luggage lost, and she was wonderfully gracious about checking us in after-hours and offering to help coordinate our luggage reunion with her doorman.
There's a supermarket a few minutes away and a ton of great bars and restaurants within a 5- to 10-minute walk. Our two favorites were Shoreditch Grind and The Old Fountain. If you're going further afield, the tube station is just at the corner, so getting around is very easy.
Though there is an elevator in the building, there are still a few steps at the main entrance and a staircase from the elevator stop to the apartment. Also, in the apartment, there are stairs going to the loft bedroom. The bed itself was quite comfortable and the apartment was quiet. We particularly enjoyed hearing the rain on the skylights overhead at night--very tranquil. Despite some chilly weather outside, the apartment was always toasty and the heat was adjustable.
Every single detail in Metsa's apartment is wonderfully and thoughtfully designed--perhaps not a requirement for a great stay, but definitely appreciated nonetheless. We'd be happy to stay here again!
