As we already knew, the flat is on a busy street - it wasn't as bad as we expected. But still quite a lot of traffic. The flat and the building are absolutely lovely and perfectly situated for us - we like the East End very much, visited Lauriston, Hackney, the Westfield Shopping Mall (and also the pub just across the street) and went on long walks in Victoria Park and along the canals. The communication with Ashkin was easy and quick. As was check-in and check-out. Would return any time!
