Alix was waiting for me outside when I arrived. She's very responsive in email and I was at home the moment I arrived in her place.

Her Hackney apartment was very spacious. The bed was so comfortable and the room had a lot of cabinets, a working table, lots of hangers, and all the tiny detail that matters.

I love the view of the garden from the room.

I have my own personal ref with apples, chocolate croissant, milk and orange juice.

She is very detailed during the orientation with waste segregation and how she wants the bathroom organized.

She is very accommodating and I got a glimpse of London life. She stays in the room next door, and I take every chance to talk to her to know about London.

She would make me coffee or tea every time its possible. She would communicate in advance and set the right expectation.

The description in the listing is very accurate. Although I need to add that the toilet handle needs to be fixed.

It's true that the Hackney Central is quite near and the bus stations are very convenient. The short cut though to go to the apartment passes through an old church and cemetary. It was a bit creepy to pass every night but I got used to it.

The place is near the Dalston area which is the hipster cool area in London. I love the neighborhood and the area.

Wifi is so fast and really helpful for digital nomads.

It's a bit difficult to go if coming from the airport. You have to take a taxi specially if you have a big luggage like I did.

The nearest station is Hackney Central.

I would highly recommend this place if you are looking for a place in East London!

Thank Alix for the wonderful stay :)
