Well, I simply can't praise Ben and Darren enough! Lovely people and lovely hosts who went out of their way to help and guide you. Ben is super quick to respond to your queries, both before your stay and during. To give you an example of their helpfulness: at one point of my stay I asked if there was a hairdryer in the flat that I might use, Ben answered me that there wasn't but that he would go and purchase one, 3 hours later I came home to the flat and found a new hairdryer in my room. The room you stay in has a lovely big firm bed and black out blinds. The bathroom and toilet is right next door. The flat as a whole is unique, light and airy and full of quirky art, plants and flowers. Dalston is a quirky place too, lively night life with its own theatre ( The Arcola), a cool cinema (The Rio) and loads of restaurants and cafés. There is the tube of course, but I only took the bus while I was there so as to see more of the city. One bus goes directly from Dalston to Covent Garden; another will take you to Shoreditch and St Pauls, and a third to Angel Islington, my favourite neighborhood. I strongly recommend staying with these awesome guys!
