I really enjoyed staying at Barclay's place in shoreditch. I was travelling solo and was here for 3 nights. Absolutely fantastic location with quick access to the tube, local grocery sainsbury around the corner and very quirky cafes. Plenty of food options and always something going on in the area: The room was as pictured: small and cozy with lovely natural light. It was also great to have an ensuit that was clean and a good size. Both Barclay and his wife are very friendly and welcoming and attend to any questions promptly and very accommodating to my needs (eg I was asking to check in earlier if possible). Although this happened for me, it may be highly dependant on whether they have guests the day before and when they leave etc. But Barclay is always approachable so discussing your needs is always possible!! Overall Very pleased with my stay!
