Airy double bedroom in beautiful Hackney house
This double bedroom, with its brand new bed and mattress & vintage furniture, is a tranquil haven. Full of our favourite art and books, the house still feels spacious and calm; we have a gorgeous garden and several wonderful parks nearby.

Sodo Pizza (booking advised) makes excellent sourdough bases with fabulous toppings, while Mosaic and Dialogue cafés make excellent coffee, tea, fresh juices  and all kinds of food any time of day. Next door to Tesco, good for basics, our local specialist supermarket, World Foods, boasts its own bakery (try the Turkish flatbreads), a butcher, a vast array of fruit and vegetables and most other household goods.
