Clare was a great host considering she kept things simple. She met us right outside her place, welcomed us into her flat (with some snacks), provided some simple details about the place and the area, and then left us alone. Clare's place is well decorated and styled, making it a better option than a hotel. The location is very close to Old St. station, but we found ourselves walking through Shoreditch to discover great restaurants and shops most nights. Clare's place is also close to Islington and their options with the Narrow Boat restaurant and Regent's Canals on the way (great for morning runs). Highly recommend Clare's place if you're looking for a place near Shoreditch with plenty of comfort and options.
