Carmen and Volker made us feel very at home. Airbnb is best when you are living in a place where someone actually lives and not just renting a tailor-made holiday let. We really enjoyed our time in Dalston. The flat was very clean and it was great to have a spacious private bathroom. Carmen also provided us with coffee, fresh fruit, bagels and great cereals for breakfast. The views from the winter garden or from the communal roof terrace are amazing. Dalston Junction and the new overground line have also vastly improved transport connections here. Carmen was also very flexible and let us keep our bags in the flat until evening when our train left which was much appreciated.
