Ieva is a very hospitable and kind host! She was always respectful of me and the space we shared and very generous with advice and drinks (her passion is wine so for all the wine lovers out there this is perfect) The apartment is in the perfect part of Hackney, close to Dalston but in a more residential area so living there isn't too busy. Close to both the underground, overground and a lot of buses so the rest of London is never far away. I would definitely recommend staying here if you are visiting London!
