I had a great stay at Sara's flat in Shoreditch. Relocating to London from abroad is not easy.... so many little details that need to fall into place to make it happen. And so having this spot to live for a few weeks while I sorted out my new life in the UK really helped a lot!
The place is technically a room in a larger flat. But it feels like you have your own studio apartment. It had everything I needed. Including a very comfy bed, and great shower. You gotta love those essential details.
Sara was an impeccable host. Easy to communicate with, and super flexible and accommodating. She also had a lot of great info on the neighbourhood, and London in general.
The location was ideal for me. I liked it so much, I found my own more permanent flat to move into, not too far away from the same neighbourhood.
One caveat is that the specific location can be a little bit noisy. It's right in the middle of the trendy East London nightlife scene. But, it didn't bother me at all.
I've used Airbnb in many places all over the world. And this particular one ranks up as one of my favourites.
