This is a “real” AirBnB with a friendly host, an unusual location (Stoke Newington) and a hippy vibe house. If you want hotel service, go to a hotel. There’s a reason why this place is so cheap and that’s because it’s not a hotel.
My check-in was a hit of a disaster unfortunately. My flight was delayed by 3h which meant I arrived to a sleepy house. Someone had taken my room by mistake and I spent an hour stressing out. All turned out fine in the end, but I would highly suggest you arrive at a descent time to work out any issues.
Frank is a great host but he rents out rooms on an availability basis. The ad is for any of these rooms, so you might not end up where you think. My room was supposed to be in the basement but I ended up on the ground floor. That room had a comfortable bed, the sheets were clean and the door locked. However, the blinds were broken and I had to buy a sleeping mask.
I highly recommend this place if you are looking for somewhere cheap and casual to stay. Stoke Newington is a wonderful place to explore, Clapton and Dalton are close by too.
