Damaris's place is spacious, and light, located in a boutique block in an interesting area. We greatly enjoyed our stay overall both in her apartment and in the borough of Hackney generally and would happily stay in the apartment again. The block felt safe and secure, the building and local area were quiet, Damaris responded on a timely basis to all our queries and Sandra and Maria (local helpers) did a great job. The range of cooking gear (etc) was much greater than we have seen in other one-bedroom flats but some investment in sprucing up the place would make it feel more like the advertised luxury apartment. Access to downtown tourist icons was generally good, especially as we could avoid peak-hour travel but we did at times miss the convenience of being really close to a tube station. (PS: we stayed for a month.)
