We had such an amazing stay with Mary. Mary was the perfect host. The room is located just a 3 minute walk from the Tube Station. It is located next to an awesome British Tavern, where we met friends, had nice chats, and warmed ourselves by the fire. The Shoreditch area itself is the new hipster haven of London (similar to Downtown LA and Silverlake). We enjoyed this because we did not see any tourist and the bar and food scene was great. Further, I only had to go three to four stop for Westminster Abby, London Tower, Imperial War Museum, Talagafar Square, and all the other attractions. I felt cheated that I did not get to branch much further out, but it actually made the stay better because our traveling time to places was short.
As to the room itself, it was nice. Although the tavern is next door, it is quiet and just off the main drag. The best feature is the memory foam bed. My girlfriend and I both had amazing sleep. There was enough space for our American large suitcases and closet room for our nighttime clothes. The shower and water pressure could be better, but really was fine. There is no lift for the room so you will need to carry your bags up. We had no issue with this.
Mary herself was great. She gave us good directions and always met us with a smile. She was dog sitting the cutest and must spoiled two little pug dogs, which made us feel right at home. I will be staying here again when I come back to London. I highly recommend staying here if you want a nice big king size bed and a convenient spot to see all that London has to offer. We are now in Amsterdam at the Hyatt Andaz hotel, five stars and miss Mary's charming place.
