Great for a short stay. As close as you can get to trains and bus stop which are literally out side the door. The room is small but not so small you cant open your suitcase and take everything out. For two people would be more cramped. The coworking space down stairs is great to have, ended up using the conference room all to my self. The area seemed pretty safe, but I’m told by a cabbie who grew up there its good to be careful around Dalston, but probably no worse than any other city- its kind of half way gentrified area, with great diversity and interesting people getting about. Some great locally owned cafes near by, Tin is cute. London feilds is a short bus trip with restaurants and bars/ pubs. Shoreditch is dope. Enjoy.
