Katie and Simon were wonderful! It was such a pleasure to meet them both. They provided very detailed arrival information, and were so friendly and welcoming to us in their home - even sharing delicious homemade bread. They also put together a very detailed book of local recommendations for restaurants, bars, and markets, which became highlights of our stay. We loved the Shoreditch/Whitechapel neighborhood - very eclectic and diverse, with great access to transit. The room was absolutely beautiful and very clean. Would highly recommend to all, especially those that want to stay in a less touristy area of a city and gain more of a local perspective.
