It's a great experience! Shane and Valentina are very welcoming and friendly, probably the best Airbnb host you could ever ask for. I got to know more about the neighborhood with Shane showing me around (both walk and by bike), and we had some great chat and meals together too.
The apartment is wonderful, clean and well-decorated, and with the en-suite room you got your privacy as well. The neighborhood - Hackley Wick is very cool - canals running through the area, close to two large parks, has some artistic stuff and cool restaurants and shops, not too busy, an overground station away from Stratford. I definitely would recommend people to stay at Shane's place.
