Very clean apartment. Somewhat austere furnishing. Great location if you want to be in the center of Hackney (many bars and restaurants and much to do). Climbing the 3 flights with a 23 kg suitcase was a challenge. Being on the 3rd floor however allowed for much less outside noise and the action in the street was easy enough to sleep through on a Saturday night!! Check in was efficient and when staying with 3 or 4 persons the one set of keys can be shared by 2 couples using the check-in manner (something that I did not use but would have been useful at other Air BNBs that I have stayed at when with a second couple)---leading to easy access to the apartment when the couples go different ways.
