Hackney Wick, East London
An ensuite room in a canal-side apartment in the coolest part of London! Canal walks, right next door to Olympic Park and Victoria Park, excellent local bars, cafes and restaurants. You'll have your own front door and bathroom, plus access to my kitchen, living room and balcony.<br /><br /><b>The space</b><br />All mod cons inc wifi, washing machine, dishwasher, stereo (but no television!) The flat is set in a secure gated development with 24 hr concierge. I like to make my guests feel comfortable; I'll make time to find out what you want from your visit, and help you to plan your trip.<br /><br /><b>Guest access</b><br />If you need, there's access to my kitchen, living room and balcony - or if you prefer privacy you have your own front door.<br /><br /><b>Other things to note</b><br />What Valentina, Cookiepuss*, Lady Oscar, and I offer is a chilled, open space in a sweet spot in London. We are artists. We love people, sharing, and London. We live by a canal that thrives with birds, 
Hackney Wick is amazing, but is changing fast - buildings are going up very quickly, replacing the vibrant creative community that has lived here for fifteen years. It's like Kreuzberg in Berlin, or Williamsburg in Brooklyn in the mid 90s; it's less gentrified than most other parts of East London.<br />made more amazing by how it balances nature - canal walks and great cafes in parks - with a more creative edge.
I'm an artist, born and bred in London, a city which I know intimately and love dearly.

I love Airbnb, and the sharing economy. Airbnb has seen many people from all walks of life walk through my door. For me, life will always be about learning, and enjoyment;  I enjoy the moments I can hang out with my guests, and what I can learn from these moments. 

I will be happy to advise you on your time here. It's easy to avoid the tourist traps and get to know another side of the city. 

My interests, in no particular order: friends, swimming, nature, literature, music, politics, food, theatre, sustainability, TED, comedy, education, street art, travel, poetry. My tastes in music and food are diverse, and I love sharing.
