A very nice place to stay and it takes just about 5 minutes to get to the closest railway station (Hackney Downs) and another 10 minutes by train to reach Liverpool Street. From there you have access to the tube system. The airquality is definately better than in the centre. Lots of restaurants, shops and bars a short distance away. Apart from an occasional train passing by a silent place.
Victor is very helpful, easy going and absolutely uncomplicated; he is just a great host and I can recommend this place.
