Hal is a caring, hospitable and obliging host who was always happy to help/advise when required. The room is a lovely size, airy and bright. It was perfect for me as I needed to work in London for a month, with a good size desk, 2 chairs and plenty of wardrobe and drawer space. This flat is located in a lovely quite area in Stoke Newington just a few minutes walk to Clissold Park and swimming pool. 10 minutes walk to Dalston market and the Rio cinema, and a short bus ride to major hubs such as Angel. I would highly recommend and will stay there again next time I come to London.
