Our stay with Andrew and Ian was our first AirBnB experience and it was a great success.
The accommodation was perfectly presented and just as they described, with a very comfortable double bed and quirky decor that we liked. We were fortunate to be among the first to use the new ensuite, which was immaculate in all ways.
The kitchen facilities upstairs were modern, with everthing to hand that one would expect.
Andrew and Ian's home is in a gated community tucked away in a cul-de-sac off Mare Street, a major thoroughfare in the heart of Hackney where there are lots of small restaurants and places of entertainment, including the Hackney Empire theatre. We felt secure and safe in the accommodation. One reason we chose it was because we wanted to be within a short distance of a relative in Homerton Hospital. It was an ideal choice. The hospital is just a 15 minute walk and we were also able to use the nearly mainline rail and the Tube Overland services to travel elsewhere in the London area as well.
Andrew and Ian were welcoming, friendly and easy-talkers and extremely helpful in providing advice about bus and train routes and other nuggets of essential information. We would certainly stay with them again.
