Beautiful Family Home in the heart of Hackney
Light and airy, lovingly decorated bohemian family home. Very peaceful but in the heart of Hackney with all the interesting shops, cafes and bars it has to offer.  Good transport to Central London (buses, trains). Fast fibre optics WiFi,  Large screen TV, Gas cooker (for people who love cooking), electric oven, new fridge. 3 minutes from large park with river and canal - easy to Olympic Park.<br /><br /><b>The space</b><br />The kitchen / living room is lovely and spacious and the house has a lovely 'lived-in' atmosphere with personality. The owner is an artist and comes from a family of artists and this is visible in the unique decoration of the place.  It is clean and presentable but is a family home so please don't expect a pristine hotel!<br /><br /><b>Guest access</b><br />Guests can access the kitchen / living room, the garden, the entrance hall, the bathroom on the first floor, the 2 bedrooms on the second floor and the bedroom / shower / toilet on the top floor.<br /><br /><b>O
There is a cafe very close by for morning coffee and breakfast and lunch if you like. It is called Millfields. You come out of front door, turn right, then right again and it's on the corner opposite the park.<br /><br />The Park - lovely huge expanse of green - starting opposite this cafe - walk across diagonal path and you will reach a canal with many picturesque house boats on it and if you continue walking into the old filter beds you will eventually get to Hackney Marshes and the River Lea. Some people even go swimming in here ( I haven't dared to myself but some people do!).  Also, if you rent bicycles - there are various bicycles available to rent https://www.visitlondon.com/traveller-information/getting-around-london/london-cycle-hire-scheme and also the dockless Ofo https://www.ofo.com/uk/en  and Mobike https://mobike.com/uk/ - you can bicycle down the canal to the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park http://www.queenelizabetholympicpark.co.uk/  which has many interesting activities, 
Your host is a filmmaker and dance teacher. The house has a warm, friendly atmosphere - a welcome shelter from the hustle bustle of London.
