Victorian flat in heart of Hackney
Enjoy this  'bijou' flat on the 2nd floor of a Victorian terrace in the heart of trendy Hackney. Perfect for an individual, a couple, or 3 friends. <br /><br />A 'home from home' from which to explore Hackney's treasures, and the rest of London!<br /><br /><b>The space</b><br />This flat is at home, a bolt-hole, and a place to chill away from Hackney's sometime busy streets. Although within Central Hackney, the flat is incredibly quiet, and 'penthouse-like'. Come enjoy your time here.<br /><br />The flat is cleaned and scrubbed before your arrival, with clean sheets, but this is a not a hotel, and so not everything may be brand new  :)<br /><br /><b>Guest access</b><br />This double bedroom flat would suit a single traveler or couple, plus an optional other sleeping on the comfy sitting room sofa. Full access to a wireless internet connection, all kitchen facilities and lovely glass-brick shower.
You will have super quick and easy access to all of Hackney's treasures - 3 minutes walk to Hackney Empire - one of the oldest theatres in London - 8 minutes walk to London Fields Lido and London Fields - ("the trendiest place in the world!") - and then another 5 minutes from there to Broadway Market. Easy travel to the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park (10 minutes by rail, or 30 minutes walk along Hackney's host of beautiful canals and by-ways. Like Coffee? Like Bars? Like Food? I recommend Lardo Bar and Restaurant on Richmond Road for food and coffee, The Russet off Amhurst Road for everything, or Biddle Bothers Bar on Lower Clapton Road for relaxed late-night drinking amongst a mixed relaxed crowd of folk.
I am a specialist running coach though not a fitness freak! After 20 years of working as a professional fundraiser in the voluntary sector, I jumped ship to working in the field of athletics. I love food, drink, and people who love my flat as much a I do, so please treat it as lovingly as you would your baby :)  I've lived in the flat for 14 years, and would highly recommend it as a place to chill.
