Alejandra is an exceptionally generous host who made us feel immediately welcome. When we discovered a shared interest in music, she went out of her way to suggest venues and artists based on her contacts and local knowledge. The apartment itself was exactly as presented in the airbnb profile - however, the actual experience exceeded our expectations. The minimal, designer aesthetic coexists, perhaps unexpectedly, with a warm, homey feel. Fantastically close to transport and the multicultural hubub of Whitechapel, the apartment was surprisingly quiet (thanks to the superlative double glazing.) The coffee and biscotti were a great touch to ease our transition to the East End. We'd definitely stay here again.
