I spent just a little under two months at this flat and I have to say Ula and Dean are the most kind, funny and lovely hosts that I have ever had while using Airbnb. We spent many nights eating ice cream, talking about culture, life, design, art and architecture — just perfect! They were always responsive via text and had really great suggestions for areas to visit and cafes, too. The flat itself is great (lots of interesting books on the shelf). The kitchen is well equipped. Wifi is good. The room is very clean, bright and sunny with enough space and storage for one-two people. The bed is quite comfortable and the view from the window is amazing! They weren’t kidding! You see the Shard and Gherkin and it’s lovely at night as well. The location is in zone 2, but it’s PERFECT for getting to the city centre. It is super safe to walk and wander around, even at night (solo traveler). The overground is around a 5 minute walk, but the best thing is that you’ve got two bus routes, the 26 (including night bus) and 30 that take you right to the city, and in my opinion it’s always nicer to experience London via the top of the bus. You’re situated close to Tesco (grocery store) so if you ever need anything, you don’t have to walk far. Hackney is a really diverse, culture-filled spot, it’s quite big and there’s lots of green space with great little shops and places to eat and cafes to sit in and work from, just minutes from the flat. So, if you have a chance, wander around. Stay here if you’d like to explore east London (where pretty much everything happens!). Great access to Shoreditch, Dalston, Columbia Road Market, Spitalfields, Brick Lane. Such a great experience, zero complaints, super comfortable stay and I highly recommend!!! It felt like a home away from home.
