Ellen’s apartment is in a really convenient part of Hackney, in walking distance from great cafes and cinemas and markets. The design of the place is gorgeous with a lot of personal touches and it’s nice and cosy in the winter too. Ellen is a commutative and respectful host and I would recommend staying here
I did have a bit of trouble getting my suitcases up to the third floor (moving to London from overseas) but with less baggage I imagine it would be fine.
Also during the daytime the school ground below the apartment is quite noisy, but if you’re out and about during the day then it won’t impact you :)
Will definitely be keen to stay again in future
