Shane is a great host. I had the best 3 days at this home and was sorry to be leaving. His home is in a lovely area close to the shops bars and restaurants but extremely quiet in the evenings. You could hear the silence. His room has just about everything you could want, a real home away from home. And although Shane also lived here I met him on arrival and very briefly on the Saturday evening. He was very respectful and allowed me my own space. His communication is second to none. A true gent.

Shane was an incredibly kind and helpful host. Communication via WhatsApp was always prompt and clear, and everything went very smoothly. The location is excellent, right next to Shoreditch Church, and it was very easy to get to central London and other areas by bus. The accommodation had everything I needed, and whenever I requested something, it was provided very quickly. I would absolutely stay here again on my next trip to London. Highly recommended. :)

Room was more then I could ask for. Made my short stay even more worth it. Was like a my won little studio room, was great.
Sheared bathroom was easy and lovely no complaints.
When I'm around in London I will definitely be using Shanes Room again.
Thank you For a lovely stay.

Shane was a brilliant host to his lovely home. The room was large, sunny and with its own kitchenette. A true find in the middle of Shoreditch. The busses and overground were all close, and with the room at the back of the house, it was quite. I definitely recommend Shane's home. Thank you Shane for opening your home to me and being a wonderful host.

I had a wonferful stay at Shanes place. The room is cozy, bright and met all my needs. The neighbourhood is lovely and central and close to most things in Shoreditch and also there are busses and trains near by that gets you to most zone 1 and 2 places in 30 minutes or so. Shane is a perfect host. He went above and beyond in welcoming me into the place. We hit it off and became friends in an instant. My short was short for a week but I loved it. I highly recommend it. Shane is amazing! 5 stars!

Shane is an ideal host - friendly, welcoming, communicative - and the room is clean, comfortable and really well-appointed, so that guests have complete privacy and independence. All of that plus the central location and huge variety of local amenities means an easy and relaxing stay. I already have another booking in place for Shane's digs and am looking forward to it.

Thanks for the lovely review. When I wrote yours, it should have begun "I was...". I hope it will read correctly now! See you again soon ๐
Shane was an amazing welcoming host, always available to answer any queries. The room was lovely with a comfortable bed, very clean and only a short bus ride away from many of the theatres. Would definitely stay here again if needed!

Thanks Janet. It was great to meet you and I hope you will be back!
This room really stands out in comparison to many other digs. Having your own little kitchen really creates a feeling of privacy and independence. Shane was extremely helpful and accommodating, and has clearly put a lot of thought and care into this setup. I would definitely stay again. Thanks so much Shane!

I very much enjoyed having Helena as a guest. She was professional, friendly and tidy. I would have no hesitation in hosting her again or recommending her to anyone in the future. I wish her the very best!
