very nice place, excentrically and very nicely done up. all the amenities are very well put together and there is a nice little garden. The location is good, HAckney is very interesting and nyou can cycle to islington on the canal bank (cycle hire is 200 metres away). The only thing is that it is a basement room with no natural light except the door, so not somewhere to spend loads of time if the weather isn't good enough to be in the garden. All the hosting, communicaitons etc, just fine
