I stayed here for almost two weeks over the new year period. The location is great for anything Hackney-based (all walkable), & there are regular direct buses to central if needed (takes just short of an hour). Kitchen has everything needed & the private bathroom was a big plus for me. I enjoyed the bookshelves in the lounge too. There were quite a few different guests coming & going during my stay. Communication was a bit confusing but we worked it out. The room was super quiet both day & night (even on new years!), I slept well.
