The room was described as functional, that is exactly what it was. Sheets and towels were clean, room was warm and clean enough, door locked and I felt safe. Good internet connection. Alesia was very kind replied to any queries very quickly. The kitchen depended on who was using it last, same with the bathroom but both always clean for the next morning. Shower good and plenty of hot water. I was out early and back late so never really used the kitchen except to boil a kettle. The house is crumbling, granted, and this reflected in the price. I was freelancing, working long hours I need a place to sleep where both me and my belongings felt secure and where I could come and go as I needed. The location is excellent, excellent transport links. Ten minute walk to Hackney Central.
