We had a wonderful long-term (>3 months) stay at the apartment. Everything is as described and working well. Easy communication with the very friendly host, minor issues that come up during such a lengthy stay were resolved quickly. Second room can be well used as workspace and/or secondary bedroom using the sofa bed. Some noise coming from the street (not affecting the main bedroom). Nice neighborhood. 10 min walk to the Hackney Downs/Hackney Central Overground stations allowing for rather fast transportation to many places including Central London (via Liverpool Street or Highbury & Islington).
