The place was really beautiful, near the main street of Stoke Newington, which is a charming neighborhood with great restaurants and cafes. In spite of being on a main thoroughfare (with easy access to the overground train and busses to central London), the apartment was quiet and peaceful because it is set back from the street. It was well decorated, with lots of plants, a comfortable bed, and everything one might need for cooking. We loved the area for our week-long stay. It is a short walk to Clissold Park.
