Great location if you are mostly spending time in East London like we did. It takes about 20-30 aboveground trains to the center of London which was right outside the apartment - convince.
Keep that in mind if you are a first time visitor.
Once settled in, we were very pleased about the proximity to London Field, Victoria Park and the creative, edgy Hackney neighborhood. Less than 10 mins walk to Broadway Market; 20 mins to Columbia Flower Market. Do take advantage of the proximity to the Regent Canal. Tking a run in the morning was a great way to recover/refresh from international travel.
