Great neighborhood, spacious apartment, quiet neighbors, amazing views, super close to Hackney Downs Overground. The management company is quick to respond and very helpful. Basic kitchen stuff, dishwasher, and washing machine. I requested curtains for the living room, when sunny it was impossible to be in the living room during the day because of the glare and the heat. Two contractors visited to measure but they were never installed, I think they were being installed after I left.
There are two train lines that are nearby, I got used to the noise after a week or so. It would be hard to stay during the warmer seasons with windows open since the trains are so close. I definitely had to close the doors/windows when I was on a work call.
I was there for a long stay so it felt comfortable after a while but I think for the price it would be hard to stay in the warmer months with the train noise. If you're there long enough you'll grow used to it.
