Information from the host was excellent, even down to local knowledge and low-down on buses.
The house was lovely, amazing interior and we felt right at home from the moment we walked in.
Host gave us the keys upon arrival and a few pointers about security and the house itself. A very personal touch.
Location was ideal for our stay as only 20-25 minutes into central London (Oxford Circus or Waterloo direct by bus) or 5-10 minutes to Hackney.
We can recommend the Hackney Empire as a venue for seeing a show or band and the Hackney City Farm for a young kids.
