We stayed two days in the Pear room and it was perfect. Room, bathroom and kitchen were clean, modern and absolutely lovely. The location couldn't be much better. We got around by bus directly from the front door to city centre and we could even take a 30 min. walk to Liverpool st. The area around Shoreditch is great and so is the surrounding area around Hackney road. Dont miss out on the Spanish restaurant on Columbia road or one of the cosy breakfast cafe's on Hackney road. Only thing to mention is, if you are noice sensitive then the road outside the flat is a bit busy. But bring some earplugs and you'll be fine. The place is highly recommendable.
