It's exactly as described. If you're expecting anything more then you shouldn't book. Whilst I would say it's one of weirdest places I've stayed in regards to the building and how the room is sectioned off with large pieces of fabric etc, it's also one of the coolest. It has everything you need and the location is superb! However, if you are a light sleeper this isn't the place for you, it is directly opposite a very busy bar (which is excellent by the way, called Howling Hops bar,craft beers) as well as a club so you can imagine the noise! (altho8gh this was the weekend). Personally it didn't bother me as I have weird sleeping patterns anyway but if you like your sleep I doubt you'd get on with this place. I have to say, Hackney Wick is one of the coolest places I've visited in London and Janice's place could not be better located for exploring, and the building itself is very cool indeed. I would day it's excellent value for London and if you like your independent bars, cafes, restaurants etc you really can't go wrong! I would definitely recommend, as long as you don't mind something a bit rough around the edges (and I mean that in the nicest way). Worked for me. It was a shame I didn't get to meet Janice but her communication was exceptional, her recommendations for food etc were spot on and she'd thought of everything. Thank you Janice
