Lateef was a great host and always responded to my messages in no time. He let me have my mail delivered to this address and when I came my letter was waiting for me on my bed. The place was clean and the location is superb: very close to all nice places in Hackney but also quiet. I will say that the room doesn’t look that nice in real life like it does in the pictures but it’s totally worth its money anyway.
The whole house is basically a little hotel with a lot of people come and go, and really thin walls. None of the guests there were loud or annoying at all! But I felt a little shy to turn on my morning music that helps me wake up or talk on the phone, because when other people did, I could hear every word.
Overall the place is perfect if you need a place to crash, it’s clean and very close to the center. Just do not expect something extraordinary.
