Sunny & Spacious Private Room in Dalston (Zone 2)
Lovely large, light, airy space to sleep and relax in. This private room has no other bedrooms on the same floor and a lockable door.

The architects made all the living spaces (including our lounge/guest room) South-facing so it makes the most of the sunlight. <br /><br />We have recently refurbished from top to bottom, and got to put in some fun details such as "giant parquet" plywood flooring, sparkly quartz worktops in the kitchen, and an Ikea hack shut
We are situated on a quiet street just minutes away from the heart of vibrant Dalston, Hackney - a great place for hanging out in the day or the night.

We are artists, bookbinders and printers. We live and work together in London.
We love odd museums (the kind where you find the unexpected), modernist literature and art, seaside holidays and all kinds of cities with lots of lovely cafes.

As a family, we are flexible, adventurous and fun, but also very organised! As hosts, we look forward to meeting people from all walks of life and welcoming them into our home. As guests, we hate missing out on fun, so if there's fun to be had, please do tell us about it!
