I feel very lucky that my first Airbnb experience was with Peter in Shoreditch. He treated me like a friend during my stay which made it very comfortable. He was able to point me in the right direction to enjoy London as it was my first time there as well. He even ensured I was set up with an Oyster card (public transit) first thing!

In this up and coming trendy neighborhood the accessibility to public transportation to get downtown was really important for me.
What I didn't know what how many great shops and restaurants there are within a 5-10 minute walk of Peter's place. Here are some places not to miss:
+ Mast Brothers Chocolate (the chocolate chip cookie is divine)
+ Albion (the restaurant, counter, and shop are fantastic)
+ Leila's Shop for fresh produce and cheese
+ The Flower Market on Sunday mornings
+ Pump Street Food Market (if you like street food)
A couple of places I want to try next time:
+ Dishoom
+ Andina (Peruvian restaurant)

My critique? Peter really should post a guidebook on his Airbnb page as he has so many great suggestions and wonderful places near his home to enjoy. I can't remember all of the names of the places I went to and saw.

The apartment is clean and has a minimalist decor. It feels like it is in a safe area to stay and explore. There was also plenty of hot water for my shower.
