Put frankly: this has been our best airbnb stay and experience !!!
We went to a concert in London. While browsing places, Lydia's home in Dalston caught our attention.
Once arrived, we had a nice cup of tea with Lydia. We found our room perfectly set, well decorated, plus little things such as adaptors, a bottle of water, etc. There are two beds (technically 4 people) in the room, a wardrobe, a desk and still no shortage of space. It's well balanced - space and plants, light and little inspiring things for you to see. It's a piece of art. We loved to return "home".
Lydia is a great host, too. Easy communication from the start. She is lovely, intelligent, relaxed and inspiring. She also helped us get most of our stay in Dalston. Her house is in a quiet neighbourhood. In less than 5 minutes walk there's a variety of public transport. In particular, the Kingsland High St. with its vibrant character. There's plenty of artist studios, musicians, great coffee shops(!), pubs, restaurants, a market... One could immerse himself of in here of quite some time!
I hope I get a chance to come for another visit. If you get a chance I highly recommend Lydia's place.
