Alastair’s place is lovely. The location is perfect if you want to stay near Liverpool Street or Old Street. Plenty of restaurants and bars all around. The flat is a cozy space and had everything I needed for a lovely stay. Alastair left some wonderful coffee for me to make in the mornings which was much appreciated! The only downside was a little noise coming from the bar on the corner of the street on the first night (Friday) but it was nothing major and it didn’t bother me again after that first night. The bedroom looks out onto the back so while some noise form the street can be heard in the living room, the bedroom is generally quiet. The space itself is clean and cozy. The bathroom is small but perfectly fine. Alastair was very responsive and a really great host. The pictures didn’t do the place justice as it’s now been repainted a beautiful light grey colour and the floors are white wood - it all works really well. I would definitely stay again.
