We had an amazing time staying in Theresa's room. The apartment is really big, so we didn't really see her roommate who lived across the very long hallway and had to work most of the weekend.
The apartment isn't new, but the kept it clean and there were fresh towels when we arrived.

Don't get intimidated by the nickname "Murder Mile", Hackney is a very hip neighbourhood. With cool places like 119 Lower Clapton, they serve the best coffee there. I'm somewhat of a coffee expert (or just a part time barista), it is worth the walk in the morning.

London is just an amazing place and the room made our stay even nicer.
