There is a reason why this place, and especially the host, has incredible reviews. Nothing is over-hyped, it really is wonderful!
The place itself is so well-maintained. There is this beautiful grey-blue paint everywhere and there was not a knick or scratch on it anywhere in the whole place. There are really nice Miele appliances in the kitchen. The bed doesn’t creak. The shower is a really nice size for Europe and we never ran out of hot water. Overall it was an absolute delight!
As a host, Peter was fantastic. When we arrived, there was fresh bread (AMAZING sourdough bread from a cute place just around the corner), eggs, butter, milk, local apple juice, granola, oats for oatmeal, a useful pantry of sugars, salts, etc. It was so nice to arrive to after a long day of international travel! He was flexible to meet us as soon as we arrived, not the stated check-in time. You can tell he really cares about his guests enjoying the space and their stay with him.
Location-wise, the place is great. Shoreditch has a ton of very highly-rated restaurants if that’s what you enjoy. The Shoreditch stop for the London Underground is a very short walk away, though admittedly you really can only use it to connect to another line for most anywhere you would be going in central London. Otherwise, you can walk about 15 minutes either south or west to reach other Underground lines that may be more convenient.
We loved our stay here and would recommend it to anyone we know.
