NEW 1 Bedroom Contemporary Flat - East London
Brand new, quiet and bright one bedroom flat with generous living area, large kitchen and large balcony. Close to Plaistow station and West Ham stations and plenty of buses. Very handy for Excel or City Airport or Stratford (Olympic Stadium).<br /><br /><b>The space</b><br />This is a contemporary flat is in a small block (just 8 apartments) with friendly neighbours in a very quiet street within easy reach of Plaistow station (8 mins walk or 3 stops on the 69 bus). Its been my home for just over a year and I've never enjoyed a more peaceful night's sleep. <br />The floor-to-ceiling windows keep the place light and airy. It has a larger than expected kitchen area for those who enjoy to cook and a large open-plan living area (with mid-century furniture) that connects onto a large south facing balcony with table and chairs and a decent sized bedroom and bathroom (with a combined bath and shower).<br /><br /><b>Guest access</b><br />Guest have access to the entire flat during stay. But the
Plaistow is in the heart of the 'real' East End. Its in Newham – the Olympic borough – a vibrant diverse area with more languages spoken than anywhere else in the country. Within a few minutes walk of the flat you can find very good Indian, vietnamese restaurants and even traditional 'Pie and Mash'. The world famous West Ham football club is close by for football fans and there is a cute local park 5 minutes walk away with tennis courts and a children's play area. A leisure centre with a gym and swimming pool is at the end of the road or you can swim in the Olympic pool in Stratford for just £4 a session. Its a very quick trip into trendy Shoreditch and Bethnal Green areas with their vibrant night-life and cool independent shops.
I am a freelance Art Director and magazine publisher. I love to travel and make new friends around the world. Life is a journey and I intend to make it the most interesting one I can. 

I am a Londoner and love my city. I moved to Hackney from South London nearly 10 years ago and have never looked back. It is a vibrant increasingly popular area with tones of local character. Even fellow Londoner who come to visit me are surprised how much like a village my particular area is. We even have a traditional cricket team who play in their whites throughout the summer on London Fields, just outside my front door. With its street markets, cosy cafes, galleries, interesting bars and independent shops I think its pretty hard to beat. All this within a stone's throw from the City of London. 

I am a gay man and expect my guests to respect that. I also have a dog who I share with my ex-partner so if you are a dog lover we will probably get on very well. I love the arts, and culture of all forms and especially like to meet new and interesting people. I have based my career on the things I love.
