I've stayed in a lot of Airbnb's, but I think Sam and his beautiful flat in Hoxton make for one of my all-time favorites. From the get-go, Sam was super responsive and flexible when I got my check-in day wrong (good grief, Bridget), and even set out a Derek Jarman book for me to borrow for the week when I mentioned loving his films. His flat is BEAUTIFUL - all those art books! All those lovely plants! That sweet balcony to drink coffee on! Super comfy bed, beautiful furnishings, and somehow even with the heat wave while I was in London I wasn't uncomfortable. He gave some great recommendations for pubs in the area (my favorite was The Wenlock Arms), and the location was so convenient - so close to several grocery stores and the canal, right on Bus Line 76 which goes all the way down to St. Paul's Cathedral and the Millennium Bridge, only a 10 min. walk from Old Street Station, and a *very* quick walk to other cool places like Shoreditch, Brick Lane, and Whitechapel. I was legit sad to leave. Thanks so much, Sam! I look forward to booking with you again! :)
