The flat was perfectly located for us as we live round the corner and my mum stayed there for two weeks so she could be nearby. It's really close to great independent shops, good coffee and a lovely churchyard walk if you need a bit of green, and well connected to public transport at Hackney Central. It is very much a studio flat so it'd perhaps be more suited to compact travelers who don't need to spread out much. The flat is in a much loved building with a serene courtyard, but it is worth noting that in the summer, if you like the windows open, it can be a bit noisy (though to be fair the double glazing totally cuts out street noise when the windows are closed). Charlotte met us at the flat and talked us through things, left clear instructions and kindly bought some breakfast items. She was organized and relaxed about check in etc and was in touch when needed.
