I can describe our stay in Roberta's house is fantastic. She provided all the information that we need about the location, transportation, neighbourhood and the house itself before the arrival. She was perfect in communication as well, both before and during the stay. Even though we had no chance to meet her since she was outside the country, she directed us her friend who lives in the same neighbourhood. She met us in the Overground station and accompanied till the house and showed all the details in the host's listing.
We had a really nice British life experience in her Victorian style apartment. It was a clean, bright and quite apartment with a nice backyard and fully equipped. Even though the neighbourhood was quite crowded during the night, the street that the house is located was so calm, silent and secure during the day and night. The main street of the neighbourhood was full of supermarkets, local markets and restaurants.
Transportation to the city centre was provided by overground and tube. After almost 10 minutes of walk, you reach the overground station called Dalston Kingland, there are trains almost every 10-15 minutes (changes from time to time), after two stops, you reach Highbury&Islington station in the Victoria Line and it takes almost 10 mins to reach Oxford Circus. I can say the total duration to the city centre after you step out from house is almost 30 mins. (including waiting in the overground station) The other Overground station Dalston Junction was also few steps forward from Dalston Kingsland but we had to use it only the day of departure because Dalston Kingsland was closed early in the Sunday morning. I aimed to give this detailed information about the transportation for those who is not familiar with London's transportation system like me before the visit. I hope it helps.
The overall experience was really nice. Hope to stay in Roberta's place in the next visit.
