Alan’s place is huge and bright. We found the flat clean and ready when we arrived. The flat had everything we needed, from kitchen appliances to bathroom essentials to huge screen. I put my Netflix account and it was working perfectly. I loved the 2 sofas in the living room which were providing a comfortable relaxation. The flat has a balcony as well which was a plus. Now the location, my opinion could be a bit subjective, as I know the area of Shoreditch very well and I love it. It's so close to bars, restaurants, nightlife and only 15min transportation if you want to visit Oxford Street or other more central places. We didn't have the chance to meet Alan as he was travelling, however, there was no need as I said, the flat was ready for our arrival.
