Jane's house is very cozy, felt like a home to get back to. The sofa bed was not quite big but I slept fine everyday during the stay. The neighborhood is quite and safe. There are buses and overground service to get you to mostly everywhere. It's a shame I didn't get to spend much time with Jane but she's totally cool, welcoming, and she knows Hackney the best. If you want to explore East London, you have the best guide!
