We had the chance to stay 2 nights in Nick's apartment and we enjoyed it a lot. Stoke-Newington and Church Street in particular are great; having a very good Indian restaurant as well as Whole Food market next door and bus stop just some meters away were super convenient!

The place (with cozy nice kitchen) is equipped with everything you need to feel good and enjoy living there. In addition, Nick is a helpful and cool person!
The only little drawback is the fact that English windows aren't too well sound-insulated and you will hear transport from Church Street. In our case, that didn't stop us from sleeping wonderfully on the comfy bed though...
