My stay at Alê's was good. The apartment is clean and in a quiet neighbourhood in Hackney, a bit off the beaten path but very accessible by bus and overground train, which is a 12-min walk away.
The apartment is a 4th floor walkup, so prepare to do some stairs! I didn't know this until Alê's neighbour let me in, but I learned the apartment also serves as an art gallery and artist residence. The space had pieces on display there during my stay. Quite unique.
My only complaint is that the listing falsely advertises that it comes with a hot tub. Unless I missed something, this is not the case. One of the main reasons I chose to book this rental was because of the hot tub. I feel misled. I hope Alê adjusts her listing to honestly reflect the rental's amenities.
