Carmen was a great host! Very communicative throughout the entire process and made us feel very welcome. Her apartment was in a great up and coming neighborhood outside of London steps from the Dalston Junction overground train station. Very close to Shoreditch (very trendy neighborhood with great restaurants, bars, and vintage shops) and 30 minutes to downtown London. She also kindly laid out breakfast for us each morning that included croissants, toast and jam, and cereal. Would definitely recommend to a friend!
