The flat was simply furnished and well loved. It was very clean.The memory foam mattress complete with protector was extremely comfortable. The kitchen and television were both welcome additions and there was plenty of storage. Humza was a kind host checking up through the weekend that we had everything we needed and meeting us personally on arrival. The spring flowers was a thoughtful touch. The location was good for meeting family and nearby Mare street had everything you could need. Hackney town hall, the station and Hackney Empire are all within walking distance. Coming from rural Wales we found the proximity of the raiway line a bit too close but overall a charming and good value place to stay in Hackney.
