Tom was an excellent host - sorting out parking and reassuring me about the apartment prior to booking etc. The apartment is as shown - bright, white, very spacious with a great view of the canal which is perfect for people watching along the tow path (joggers, walkers, cafe culture, cyclists etc) on the decking! Its enviable living! Parking was important and provided in the secure area in basement to apartments.
We didn't know Shoreditch. Its close to Old Spitalfield Mkt, but wandering along the canal system is great to explore (Angel etc). Due to being out of the centre of London is takes planning to get in/out - but buses run regularly from 2 mins away. Tom's home was a lovely find.
