A week before my arrival the TFL announced a strike for that day, I contacted Susie and she was so helpful in finding alternatives for me to get from the airport to her place. Eventually the strike was suspended so it was not a problem, however my plane got in very late which ended in a midnight arrival at Hackney. Susie and Paul were brilliant, they came to pick me up near the overground station so I didn't have to walk alone through the night. We ended up chatting for a while, I immediately felt absolutely welcome. For most of my stay they were not at the flat, but Susie responded within minutes of my messages whenever I had a question. My room was just perfect, everything was perfectly clean, towels etc. were all there. I can only highly recommend staying with Susie and Paul, fabulous people. And Susie's German is quite impressive as well
