If you like East London, the location is very convenient. I lived in Dalston for a couple of years and was happy to spend some time in Clapton to get to know the area a bit better. It is a safe area with a bus stop close by, easy to get to Stoke Newington/Shoreditch/ London Bridge, and the beautiful Lea River is just around the corner. The flat was well-equipped with a comfy bed and shutters in the bedroom/living room. Unfortunately, the neighbors upstairs are very, very loud. I could hear every step; the neighbor's kids were constantly screaming (the lock wasn't working, and I had to wait for the locksmith, why I stayed in the flat for a day); I was unable to read or write as the walls/ceiling are that thin. I think this is important to consider. If you are constantly out and about, you won't mind, but if you stay for a week and want to go to bed by 10/11, it can be stressful. The flat has a garden, which is nice if you are a smoker, otherwise I would prefer the pup by the river (a short walk). The communication with Caitlyn was good, and if you are not in the mood for cooking/eating out, order some Thai food, it's called YumYum (187 Stoke Newington High St) and was very delicious!
