Lesley and Peter were fantastic hosts! Lesley was very communicative through digital messages in preparation for and during my stay. Peter met me when I arrived and give me a very helpful introduction and walkthrough of the space.
The place is very spacious for a studio/1 bedroom and is outfitted with furniture and decorations from Lesley and Peter's work in the opera business, which gives it a very unique look and feel. I did not spend a significant time in the apartment, but it was just what I needed while I was there.
I really appreciated that they made some basic amenities like food and drink available to me in the refrigerator that is a part of the apartment. A guest should know that there is not a full kitchen. While there are dishes available to you, you will have to clean anything by hand in the bathroom. Not an issue - just something to know!
It's a great price point, and it's very accessible to Shoreditch, Hackney, Bethnal Green, London Fields. You can easily get connected to the rest of the city via the bus stop that is right outside (or you can walk if you don't mind a longer stroll), which will quickly take you into the city or transfer to a Tube station.
I definitely recommend staying here! Thanks Lesley and Peter!
