Susan was a fab host. Her basement
flat would have been ideal for my 4 nights stay. It was very clean. Great position. Lovely restaurants and cafes nearby and as a sole female traveller I felt very safe in the area. However, I could only have one shower during my stay as the boiler was not working properly. The drain was blocked in the wet room and a lot of water escaped under
the bathroom door into the bedroom. The Heating kept tripping out. I was cold in the evenings and during the night. Blankets were provided but I was still cold. Washing up was done by boiling a kettle for hot water. Susan was very apologetic and has compensated
me for one nights stay and I
realise this boiler problem was out of her control but I was paying for a 4 night stay and by not being able
to have a shower did unfortunately spoil my visit to Hackney.
