Great little place in a good location. We stayed for a month and had everything we needed - the flat is very well equipped with loads of cleaning products etc so it was quite easy for us to settle in quickly. Washing machine, cooking appliances, large smart TV were a must for us staying so long. My partner and I work remotely and the super-fast WiFi was a dream!!!
It isn't the biggest of spaces (it is London after all) but the layout is well designed to maximise space/light, with floor to ceiling windows along the entire length of one side of the flat. Heated up quickly and stayed warm. Perfect for the two of us.
The location is lovely next to canals, parks and nature reserves, with lots of walks. 15-30 minute walk to central Hackney, Queen Elizabeth Park and other great spots full of restaurants, cafes and entertainment. Nearest Overground line is only 8 minutes walk away which goes straight into Liverpool Street giving you access to all of London and rail services. NOTE: parking is permitted in the area between 8:30pm and 6:30pm - some streets you can pay for a max of 4 hours during these times but not really any option for long term parking. It is also within the new ULEZ zone so make sure you check before driving!
We slightly marked down the cleanliness; there was nothing particularly bad, it just didn't feel completely fresh when we first arrived - however this might just be because we are extra cautious due to COVID and given we were staying for a long time we would have given it a good clean upon arrival anyway! The well stocked cleaning products was much appreciated for this reason.
Deepak was away himself so we didn't meet him in person but had one of the best response times of any host I have stayed at - always replying within the hour, if not instantly, and happy to help out in any way he could. He was flexible with our dates and moving things around. Joanna who met us and gave us the keys was also very nice and quick to reply by text.
All in all we really enjoyed our stay, the value was great, and we would definitely stay here again when returning to London in the future!
