I had a wonderful stay of almost two months with Monica, who is a wonderful host, so laid back and full of conversation. It was great to hear her stories of her experiences living in the area for many years, and I truly felt welcomed to her wonderfully comfortable home, a little oasis of green and calm in the centre of Hackney, but still very close to nearby Bethnal Green station and also the nearby expanse of Victoria Park.

The room is just as shown in the pictures, and couldn't have asked for a more comfortable stay, along with Coco the cat who really is the most friendly and adorable cat I've ever met. I really recommend Monica, Coco and their beautiful house to anyone looking for the perfect base to explore London :)
