My stay with Mary was really nice. It's right in the heart of Dalston/Stoke Newington, so there are heaps of pubs, cafe's, bars and restaurants nearby. Hackney downs park is around the corner, and there are also 2 yoga studios close by. Transport connections are plentiful and it's relatively easy to get to Stansted if you are flying from there. I had a bit of work to do whilst there, and it was very handy to have the desk in the rooom. Mary is a lovely person who is always up for a chat or to recommend where to go.
