This flat is in a nice location in Hackney, and is very spacious. It is a quirky place full of character. We did have some significant issues with cleanliness: When we arrived, the kitchen was extremely dirty (dishwasher full of dirty dishes; dirt on work surfaces; fridge full of out-of-date food and a huge casserole with leftovers), and the second bedroom, which was made up for two children, smelled very strongly of cigarette smoke. It was so bad that the children simply refused to even enter the room, and we had to change the sleeping arrangements. The smell of smoke subsequently improved but remained noticeable throughout the stay. We alerted the hosts to the issues around the kitchen, and they promptly addressed this and refunded us part of the cleaning fee.
