Modern, cozy, and comfortable in all respects. The mattress made for very restful sleep and we very much appreciated a dedicated office space with desk, chair, and faultless high-speed internet. Communications with the host were responsive. Check-in required a visit to a key locker at a nearby store. Although less convenient than a lock box, the service was seamless. Easy walk to Hackney Central and Hackney Downs overground stations, as well as grocery, cafes, and restaurants on Dalston Lane and Mare Street. Highly recommend a visit to Le Merlin, a nearby restaurant with the best galettes you are likely to savour outside France.
Traffic noise was substantial at times and the nearby streets seemed to be a preferred route for emergency services. The property is located next to a pub. This was no issue for us, but keep in mind that patrons can be somewhat boisterous between 10-11 pm of a Friday and Saturday night. The bedroom is located in back of the flat, which minimizes the impact for those who are early-to-bed. While spacious, the flat had no available drawers for clothing storage, although there was generous rack space for hanging items. All-in-all a great flat that is accurately represented by the pictures.
