Lateef's guesthouse is very cozy and located in a very quiet neighborhood in Hackney, just a few stops of Overground and Underground from the city. If you are looking for an essential room for your staying this is the place.
Note that there are other three rooms for guests in the house, it happened to me twice that people staying in the other rooms started talking on the phone very loud in the middle of the night. But this is just an issue regarding other people's lack of education.
