The flat is very nice, everything very clean and new, in a fantastic location. Everything East London has to offer is very close by and buses just outside the door on Hackney Road that take you directly to the city center. When I stayed there, there were some builders renovating the house, waking me up at 8 in the morning with some heavy drilling just outside our window, but I assume this is just temporary and after it will be a great place to stay in. (But in general for staying in central London, I would recommend taking along some earplugs just in case, if you're a light sleeper!)
