If you're looking for an ultra-cool unit in a fun neighborhood, this is the place. The listing photos are accurate but underplay the vibe once you're actually there. In addition, Quina was a very good host + was very responsive to all our questions.
Can't beat the location as it is close to the Hackney Wick station + coffee shops, markets, bars, breweries, restaurants, etc. The nearby bar scene is lively but was quiet by 11 pm. Hackney Wick is a little far from the main tourist sights but we wanted a combination of tourist attractions + "locals" activities.
We had our 13 year old with us - I think the unit is ok for kids but check the listing photos to see if the setting is ok w/your family. Likewise the neighborhood is a mix of industrial building lofts and apartments and we found it safe.
