It was lovely to be in Shoreditch in spring in Christina's cool space with its welcoming single-woman vibe. It's bright, modern, comfortable, well-equipped (note to North Americans: you actually have to read the induction cooker manual). The flat is in a real community, not tourist land, which is great. It's close to but removed from Hoxton clubbing madness. And if you have an Oystercard, London really is your oyster, from here. Pay attention to Christina's guide: it's excellent. I hope to be back soon and actually get to the Regent's Canal to bike or walk, so close, who knew?
