This was my third or fourth experience with AirBnB, and definitely the best.

First of all, the flat is very, very comfortable and quite beautiful. You'll get your own room and likely even your own bathroom. It's very spacious, especially for London standards, and very clean. Hackney Wick is also a great spot, with a great pizza place, a cozy coffee shop, and a market for your essential needs just a few minutes away. It is also very easy to get to and from Shane's place by tube.

As for Shane, he's one of the easiest people to get along with! He has a very interesting lifestyle, and whether he is busy or not makes you really feel at home. I had no problems at all, but I'm sure if I had, Shane would've taken care of it. Even after knowing each other a day or so, we had a few good laughs talking about the random things that happened on our weekends, etc. I also got to know Shane's flatmate, Orly, pretty well while Shane was traveling. She is even cooler than Shane! (Just kidding Shane.) Orly was quite busy for the most part, but when we were at the flat at the same time, we had interesting conversations about our past and our future interests.

Overall, I HIGHLY recommend this place for the location and the flat itself, but more so because Shane and Orly are great hosts and fun people. Thanks guys.
