Brenda has been one of the best hosts I‘ve came across for a long time. She is such a friendly, chatty and caring person who provided us with all kind of treats like tea bags, coffee and cake etc. She even left a personalized message on a small table so we were able to immediately feel like being at home. The flat is perfectly located in the middle of the beautiful and diverse borough Hackney. If you want to go central or west you can easily use the public transport in this area. The busses from
Hackney high street run almost 24/7 and take you from east London to Shoreditch (10 min), Holborn/Central (35-40 min, 10 min walk to shopping streets like Oxford Street etc.) London Bridge (35 min) etc. Also there is the possibility to take different busses to Bethnal Green Station (10 min) from where you can take the Central Line (Underground) which is much faster but a bit more expensive(depending on zones) than a simple bus ride which is only 1.50 Pounds. From Shoreditch (Old Street Station) you have access to the Northern Line (Underground). Overground service is accessible from Hackney Central Station which is also only a few minutes distance by foot. The Victoria Park and London Fields are just around the corner. If you like the farm life you can easily go to Hackney City Farm. Overall the place and its local amenities are highly recommended. I will definitely come back one day. :)
