Pros: Lien is a super considerate host, finding us a fan for the heatwave and leaving icy poles in the freezer for us! It’s one of the BEST stocked Airbnbs I’ve ever been in - from decent shampoo and conditioner to international wall adapters to spare umbrellas, every last little thing you could think of has been included in the house. It’s also in a great location, just back from the hustle of Shoreditch. It was fairly quiet in the mornings and evenings, save for one weekend evening (but that’s what you get for wanting to stay in Shoreditch!)
Cons: the house itself is well decorated, but it’s an old and run-down building with peeling ceilings, which lets down the experience. There are also very bright lights at either end of the apartment (one in a stairwell, the other a street light) which light up the apartment a lot at night; though she has curtains, I definitely recommend a sleeping mask. The bed and couch could also both be more comfortable. Nothing too bad, but just things I would have wanted to know before booking.
