As my first trip with Airbnb, I wasn't sure of what to expect of my trip to east London, but I couldn't have been happier and more impressed by both David and his home there.

The location is literally a stones-throw from both the lively Shoreditch triangle and the historic market at Spitalfields and couldn't be better for a first experience of East London or your hundredth time there for work.

The house itself is stunning - modern, high-tech and beautifully furnished, far, far closer to a luxury hotel than a house - I'd have been tempted to lock myself in there for the entirety of my stay were the location not so incredible. I'm a real sucker for a cool, modern bathroom, and I have to say I've been missing the shower at David's for a week since I left!

Past the location and the house itself, David's knowledge of the area was also a real help. The neighbourhood is packed with restaurants, shops, bars and clubs and David knew every one - I went for a steak just metres from the house on his suggestion, and it couldn't have been a better recommendation.

Thanks for everything David, I'll certainly be back!
