Our stay in this apartment on the park was very enjoyable. The park across the road is lovely, clean and lively. The apartment is an 8 minute walk from the overland trains, however not so convenient for the underground. There are many buses close by. There were no large supermarkets within walking distance, though there is a Tesco's Express next to Hackney Downs station. Out hosts were very good communicators and were a pleasure to deal with.
