We loved staying at Stephanie's place. This is how air bnb should be: staying in a real home, getting ideas for how to decorate and organise your own space when you get back home!
Steph's flat is spotlessly clean and very quiet and peaceful. Everything is very comfortable and well thought-out. Stephanie left helpful instructions on the fridge which meant I was easily able to do things like put a wash on and find what we needed. Stephanie had thoughtfully cleared space in the bedroom wardrobe for us, and also in the bathroom drawers, meaning that we were able to unpack properly.
The flat is in a very beautiful area of London- just walking around looking at the houses was a pleasure. There are restaurants, cafes, a deli and a mini supermarket within five minute's walk, and Dalston and Stoke Newington are a 15 minute walk away. I enjoyed shopping in the local bookshop, Burley Fisher Books, walking through the Rose Garden, and having a lovely lunch in 52A Coffee House (lovely music, lovely people, excellent selection of gluten free cakes). The flat is close to the overground but I mostly used the bus to meet friends all over the city, and it was very easy to get around.
