Eve and Riccardo are super friendly, chatty when you want and have no problem with giving you your own space when you want or need it.
The place is clean, functional and relatively quiet, located comfortably on one of the top floors of a town house conversion.
Amhurst Road can be pretty loud at night with sirens and emergency services vehicles speeding up and down it, so pack earplugs, but otherwise the apartment is great value for money, located so conveniently near Hackney Downs station - I used it to get everywhere - and a stone's throw from Hackney Downs park.
The room's a modest size, but works ideally for a solo traveller. They've even put a desk and drawers in there so you can feel a bit more at home.
I'd stay here again!
