I have previously rented a room in Russell's loft and this time I travelled with a friend so we booked the entire apartment. He met us as at the station and it was a couple of minutes walk to his place. My friend loved his cosy apartment and we even went across the road to the Yard Theatre and watched a film and had some delicious food. There's a very friendly atmosphere in Hackney Wick, we both like it and will probably return at some point. It took us twenty minutes to get to the West End the following day and after walking around for most of the day it was great to get back and snuggle up in his cosy living space. Russell's very helpful and suggested a few places for us to visit as long as we promised not to tell everyone. Your secrets are safe with us.
