I was in London to visit friends, and stayed at Claudia's place for just under a week.

The place was fantastic -- a comfortable, tidy room in a great apartment. Claudia was a very welcoming host and helped me get my bearings in the neighbourhood.

The location was great for exploring Hackney, Shoreditch and surrounds -- loads of bars & cafes close by, and well-serviced by public transport for exploring further afield.

I'd very happily stay here again when next in town!
