Vanessa and her young son are great hosts!!! They are attentive, friendly and very helpful, with lots of good suggestions for restaurants etc. Vanessa and her son were very respectful and quiet. The home was clean, and the room itself was also very clean and comfortable. It was nice having the ensuite and the small fridge, water kettle, dishes and microwave in our room. The bathroom had the basics available, such as toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Vanessa made sure we had everything we needed. She even had a surprise treat waiting for us.
The home is a short, easy walk from the subway station, with easy access to central London. We were also able to walk to the vibrant and colourful Brick Lane, Shoreditch and to the beautiful and peaceful Victoria Park. There were some neat little cafes, and even a cute cat cafe, very nearby. The area had lots of good amenities nearby, which makes it easy to find what you need, e.g. a place to get a sim card, and groceries.
I do recommend taking ear plugs, as there is some noise coming from the alley, just outside the room's window, as shops back onto the alley and delivery trucks and the humming from motors can be heard. With the earplugs, I was fine to sleep through it. The hosts and her neighbours are very quiet.
All in all, it was wonderful being hosted by Vanessa and her son at this Airbnb.
