The listing is exactly as described, "Cool, Arty, Hackney Loft style...". I would say it is even cooler! The building this place sits within is art itself. The place is also fuels creative thinking and is incredibly quiet at night.
The host is super friendly, easy going and helpful. He can point you in the right direction of places go. As a side note, he has intellectually stimulating conversations too!
The location was perfect for our needs. Close enough, but far enough, from the busyness of Clapton, Hackney and Stoke Newington. There are many great restaurants in these neighborhoods and all are easy/pleasant walks. If central London is your thing, Clapton station is a 2 minute walk with a train to Liverpool Street every 15 minutes.
