I had a great stay at Christopher’s place in Hackney. Christopher was a very welcoming host - I did not get the chance to meet him as he was abroad travelling but he stayed available on whatsapp whenever I had any questions and set up everything to make it easy for me to move in. Christopher’s flatmate was around during my stay, he is lovely and really easy to get along with. The apartment and the room are cosy, beautifully decorated and clean, and you should feel at home right away. It is also very well connected, conveniently located right between the hackney downs and the hackney central stations (and lots of buses are in close proximity.) The neighborhood is great, with tons of restaurants, markets and other nice places to discover around.
