I'm going to be honest. Several years ago staying in Hackney would have never even crossed our minds. This was only our second Airbnb experience and, like the first, it has changed our outlook on vacation accommodation. The location was so perfect for access to the Olympic Park, with all that offered (especially the World Athletic Championships) a short walk away. Want a good run? Either Victoria park or the entire Lee River valley are within easy walking distance. Work in the City? A short bus ride (26) or a couple train stops. The train service is excellent and the service frequent. In terms of the home, it is super clean, well-equipped and Jessica is the best host ever. She replies promptly to any questions and even put post-its on things so we could find our way around drawers and things easily. I would highly recommend staying here to anyone interested in staying in London's most up-and-coming area of Stratford. Thanks so much Jessica for a wonderful stay.
