Just as the title of this listing says: location, location location!
I didn't even know if was possible to stay this central into the Financial District, let alone with so much space and at this price point... We have used Airbnb several times and were taken aback by how comfortable and convenient this Airbnb was. The beds and furniture were all new, it looked freshly renovated, had all we needed including a good sized kitchen with brand new appliances (which we sadly didn't have the chance to use as we were on a quick visit)... Even the wooden floor had just been put down!
It was very easy to find the place, no more than 3 min walk from the Aldgate underground. We had a night stroll to Tower Bridge, the Tower of London and St Katherine's Dock as the host recommended and it was magical. We felt very safe the whole time, which isn't often the case in a big city. There were a late night supermarket and cafe for breakfast right by the flat, which we particularly appreciated because of our tight schedule. As described in the listing, there is the normal hustle and bustle consistent with a central location in a big city but this didn't bother us at all, in fact if anything it made us feel like we were in the real London and not remote suburbia. Full 5 stars and we will be back for sure!
