A beautiful apartment, which was ideal for my wife and myself. Simon's friends met us as we arrived at the apartment (Simon was on holiday), let us in and showed us around. Simon had left us a note with all the important information (e.g. internet code) and we immediately felt at home. The apartment had everything you could want or need for a short stay. We were looking for somewhere with easy access to Hackney to visit our son and the location of Simon's apartment was ideal. Central Hackney was a 10 minute bus ride away and, if we had wished, it would have been easy to reach the centre of London by train and tube. We arrived at Euston station and, despite not knowing the area, we got to the apartment very easily in about 45 minutes.
