First off I loved the place and loved the setup, it was bigger than I thought the pictures displayed, sizable living space, with a quaint private back garden, good location near to Hackney Downs. Great cooking setup, and plenty of space.
Only reason not 5 stars is because we were dealing with electrical trouble the entire time - doing regular tasks (ie cooking, watching TV, etc, nothing out of the norm) the power would just shut off, and did so for our entire long term stay. The owner noted he would be fixing it, and saw electricians in during the stay, but would make sure to confirm before booking. Additionally, my partner felt very uncomfortable picking up the keys - she was being harassed by the employees at the the Greek market where the pickup is arranged, and found it incredibly uncomfortable
