One double bed flat in Hackney
My flat in Hackney is a bright spacious one bed, with a good sized bathroom, open plan living and kitchen and a small sun trap balcony just big enough to sit out and enjoy a coffee.  It would be a perfect spot for a couple looking to explore East London.<br /><br /><b>The space</b><br />The flat is on the first floor of a two block small low rise complex in Dalston.  There is a lift available if you have a lot of luggage, but the stairs are quicker!  It's set back from the main road at the back of a small courtyard with bike racks.  There are railway tracks at the back of the building so there is the occasional noise of the trains, most noticeable when the doors and windows are open.<br /><br /><b>Other things to note</b><br />The decor is simple and modern, but this is a lived in flat and so there are plenty of books on the shelves and I have quite a few plants! ;)
Dalston is a lively neighbourhood with plenty of restaurants, bars and cafes on Kingsland Road (10 mins walk from the flat).  There are also lots of parks in the surrounding area: London Fields with Broadway Market on Saturdays, Victoria Park, Hackney Downs and Clissold Park / Stoke Newington is not too far either.  It's a great place to explore with independent shops, eateries and pop ups.   Some of my favourite things to do are Columbia Road Flower Market on a Sunday or a walk down the canals.
