Francesco's place in Shoreditch was absolute perfection for us. We were in town for a wedding and wanted to stay in a fun neighborhood, with lots of eating/drinking options and boy did this neighborhood deliver. We walked everywhere and loved returning to our little quiet nook in the evening. It's incredible to be so close to nightlife but not be bothered with any of the noise. We loved it. We traveled to Paris after our stay (which was lovely), but found the food and nightlife more exciting in Shoreditch, hands down. Would absolutely return.
