First of all: Superhost is really what Lateef is! I highly recommend his place for airbnb'in in London.
I spent 3 nights here in London Haggerston and from the very first beginning it was perfect: after booking Lateef answered in a blink of an eye with all checkin details for me and was absolutely fine with my very early checkin (11am instead of 3pm). And best of all: He was present on my arrival and took me right away for a strollaround to get in touch with the area, supercool! The house is super clean, the room is very comfortable and bright, the bed is definitely a double plus (I slept like an angel), WLAN & Netflix: fast&perfect.
Bus stations are very close and Overground Haggiston station is just a 10 min walk away, from there you reach any London downtown destination very easily. Hackney area might have been rough in the past but beeing on a single woman trip I always felt safe and it still is quite authentic (looks a little like Nottinghill but without too much gentifrication yet at the moment..this might change in the near future, so make sure you get there soon;-)).
Saturdays Broadway Market and Columbia Flower Market are just around the corner and you can take a 30min walk to Shoreditch with Brick Lane and them vintage/food/lively surroundings, absolutely recommendable!
If you want to meet pure London with a great stay & a absolutely fantastic host: Stay here! @Lateef: I came as a foreigner and left as a friend, you and your mother as cohost are overwhelming<3 Looking forward to seeing you next year!
