Fabulous apartment in a lively area with lots of nice places to eat. We really enjoyed the gourmet food stalls at nearby Broadway Market on Saturday, and loved how close the apartment is to two big parks and the train station to connect to the City. We came for an event at Hackney Empire and were able to walk home easily and then brunch the next day in one of the many cafes (its hard to choose!). Kate's place is really secure and quiet despite being in such a lively area, and we appreciated the lift with our suitcases. The living space and bedrooms all have lots of natural light and were clean and well set out. The kitchen had everything we needed and we even managed to take a beer up onto the communal roof terrace for a (rather chilly) sunset drink. Kate is a really thoughtful host and gave us loads of tips on where to go. We will definitely be back.
