As I was attending a trade show at the Old Truman Brewery, the location was perfect. Indeed it is perfect, for anyone staying in London East, as it is in walking distance from Liverpool Street. Being that central, it's unbelievable quiet. And I agree to the previous comments, the bed is better than average, so all in all you'll get a good night sleep here.
The hosts were very welcoming. As my flight were late, Alex skipped a class of her evening studies to welcome me. And as I was rushing off she offered me her Oyster Card, so I could jump right onto the bus.
Through out the week however it was with Mara I shared the flat. Mara turned out to be a really sweet person. A good "girl next door" easy to talk too. She's honest and kind. I actually caught a cold during the week and when I woke up, she had left paracetamol for me, greeting me with tea in the kitchen.
I think that's Airbnb at it's core, you pay for a bed and a breakfast, but the true value is measured in the meeting with your host's.
