Ed's place is a great crash-pad right in the middle of Dalston - transport, bars, restaurants, cafes, shops etc are literally right on your doorstep. At the same time, it never felt particularly noisy at night, so it's kind of a win/win. And far from being a stripped-back-to-basics 'airbnb flat', this is Ed's home, so comes with a lot of homely character - a wonderful collection of books, luscious pot plants and personal style. Considering what the going rate for an airbnb is in the area, I'd say this one is great value.
