Susie was a great host, very friendly and not upset by me arriving a bit later than I said I would. She happened to be gone most of the weekend I was there so I had the apartment to myself, and had a very nice talk with her and her boyfriend Paul, the last night I was there. The room is small yet comfortable for one person. I slept really well each night. It's in a very central Hackney location and very secure with a heavy gate to the grounds, then a locked building door and apartment door. Plenty of interesting restaurants and a Sainsbury's Local just a few minutes walk away. I would definitely stay there again.
