Marco was the best host! He was super flexible with our arrival and departure times, lugged some of our bags across town for us to the flat, made us fresh grapefruit juice when we got in, and gave us amazing recommendations for things to do in Dalston and beyond! Dalston is such a cool area, so vibrant, bursting with great bars, restaurants, cafes, and some really excellent jazz clubs (definitely check out Servants Jazz Quarters, a great recommendation from Marco). The flat is right in the heart of Dalston, so the perfect base camp for exploring some really interesting and less touristy parts of London, but also a really easy 20-25 min bus ride down to Tate Modern / London bridge area, or you can take the tube station 2 blocks from the flat to anywhere in the city. Thanks Marco!
