Stephen's place is okay - though for a family I would not recommend it. The flat is more for single young people or couples wanting to go out a lot. The TV unfortunately did not work which is tricky when with kids. The road outside is also very loud, but sleeping with ear plugs solved that. I felt like the beds were a bit student flat-esque and overall everything could have been a bit cleaner and more aired. The top room has fab views, and the location is great for exploring Hackney.
