my business took me to Hackney and it was the perfect place to lay my head at night. the apartment and gorgeous backyard was wonderful as i also was working throughout the week, and the amenities perfect for my business partner and i to get work done in a quiet elegant setting. the neighborhood is very cool. it seems to be a quiet local, and yet the coffee shops, restaurants very hip, its not downtown london, but the costs, the vibe were perfect for my stay.
