We were in London for a wedding in Hackney and Alix's place was the perfect location...with transport options within one to ten minutes walk (bus and/or overground) to get to London central or outside of London. Lots of great dining options in the area. Alix is easy to communicate with and quick to reply from the time I requested booking until our departure. She was very considerate and thoughtful for our request for checking-in as well as making sure our room was comfortably warm before we got home on those chilly nights. Highly recommend this place. While some may find the surrounding area a bit sketchy, we felt safe even late at night.
