Matt's place is in a fantastic location behind St Luke's church, so right in the heart of the Old Street action, but in a quiet street overlooking a park at the rear (nice to wake up to the sound of birds!) Everything was as described, and Matt has thought of everything a guest might need. I particularly appreciated the iron and small ironing board, and it was great to be able to make a cup of tea or microwave some food in the mini kitchen in the cupboard.
Matt was really friendly and welcoming on arrival, and told me everything I needed to know. As I was out all day/evening I didn't see him after that until leaving, but had I been around I would have felt welcome to socialise and have a chat.
I will definitely add Matt's place to my favourites list for London, and recommend it to other travellers! A great location and really good value for money.
