A wonderful find having been let down by 2 others. James' communication was fabulous and very thankful for sorting out parking permits in advance. It was a bonus that there was a monitor. Advertised as no tv so had prepared to stream on laptop so kids thrilled that we could plug in to bigger screen. The flat was very warm and if sleeping on the sofa bed in the living room, there is quite a lot of traffic noise but this is London and didn't notice after a couple of days. We let the kids have the bedroom and no noise problem there and a fan provided. These are minor niggles and James' flat is a bargain find. It is homely rather than swish but just right for us and had everything we needed. Easy access to various bus routes and the overground to link into tube for easy travel all over London but also well placed for exploring Hoxton, Hackney, Shoreditch, Bethnal Green etc on foot with places like Museum of Childhood, Hackney City Farm and Geffreye Museum (when reopens) or even a walk along the canal to the Olympic park (we bused it though). Lots of express supermarkets in the area to buy supplies so no need to eat out all the time but plenty of local options if you want to, especially go for vietnamese down Kingsland Rd (we went to Hanoi Cafe but there are many others). Many thanks and would definitely recommend.
