The bedroom and flat were great. There is some new artwork in the living room and master bedroom but otherwise the flat looks exactly as pictured. The location is fantastic -- it's a short walk to many of bars, cafes and restaurants in Shoreditch and trendy shops on Redchurch St. It's also extremely close to the Hoxton overground tube station. I didn't know what "council housing" meant before arriving but never felt unsafe, even late at night. There was a couple staying in the other bedroom for part of my stay but it was never an issue. Sasha is a nice guy and very easygoing which makes staying at his place even better. I would definitely stay there again.
