The location is just as described, opposite Victoria Park (the biggest in east London), and very well insulated from traffic noise. Elevator (lift) was great as our bags were a bit heavy. The flat has art works and books covering the walls - comfortable beds, comfortable living room, well-equipped 'galley' kitchen, good wireless internet speed and Sky TV. It is 5 minutes' or so walk from Hackney Wick overground, which gives frequent service to Stratford and great connection to the rest of the TFL network. Great communication by Rachel and we met her dad, Terry, who checked us in and made sure we were comfortable. Truly 'above and beyond' - many thanks!!
