Stop browsing other AirBNBs in the Stratford / Hackney area and book this one. Now. Because if you don't, someone else will and you'll miss out on probably the best hosts in the area. Patricia and Matt are up there with the best of AirBnB hosts; god-tier.
You will not find a more superb location in this area for the price they are asking, being walking distance to both Stratford/Stratford International (Tube, Overground, National Rail, Bus & DLR) and Maryland stations (Crossrail). You will be accommodated in a clean and bright south-facing room with a beautifully appointed communal area for breakfast or relaxing in the evening. The beautiful spiral staircase is worth the admission fee alone. Also don't be surprised to be feasting on home made bread and baklava during your stay.
Before, during and after your stay you will be engaged in clear, flexible, friendly communication about everything you - and they - need to know. It is refreshing and reassuring to see a host so willing and able to engage with their guest including checking how they are getting on in a potentially unfamiliar location.
As with all post-COVD baby-steps back into normality, my first weekend away in London was always going to be a big event; potentially filled with trepidation/worry; however Patricia & Matt took a huge chunk of that away. It was like being home from home. After meeting them for five minutes, you feel like you've known them for five years. If I am to come back up to London sometime later this year, they will be first on my list, and they should be first on yours.
