the place is nice and spacious. It is a good one room apartment with lots of light and air and good heating. The apartment is in Hackney which is an up and coming trendy area with good food and bars nearby. The apartment does not have close access to the London Tube which means you have to use the London buses which are close, within 5 minutes walk of the apartment. But this means that it takes longer to get to the London central attractions, museums , etc. Louise was an absent host who communicated by Airbnb email - we never met her. We were met by a friend / tenant who passed on the keys and not much else. But there were good written instructions and facilities were fine while showing a bit of wear and tear. WIFI / Internet was good although sometimes needed to be rebooted.
