Beautiful ground-floor room next to Hoxton Square
Spacious and bright room, with private bathroom and use of kitchen and living room available just next to Hoxton Square, on the edge of Shoreditch.<br /><br /><b>The space</b><br />The flat is amazingly spacious for this part of London and has a lovely bright airy feel. People are surprised by the size of the living room / dining room, which is also full of mood lighting, controlled by Amazon Alexa. The living room is colourfully decorated and there are plenty of books if you need something to browse.<br /><br />In the guest room itself, there is loads of hanging space in the wardrobe, plus large drawers. The window is huge and looks onto an urban meadow. You may see foxes at night, and birds in the daytime. Wooden floors mean it is cosy but also clean and I am told the king-sized bed is very comfy. I provide high-quality sheets, the same as I have for myself. The lights are dimmable if you want to wind down in the evening.<br /><br />The room also has a desk for peole who wish to work
The flat is a moment from Hoxton Square with its restaurants and bars and Hoxton Street Market with its coffee shops, restaurants and market. From the street, you can stand under mature trees while seeing the towers of the financial district lit up a short distance away. The vibe of the neighbourhood, which is demographically mixed, is what I love most about it. This is real London. <br /><br />I like to run along the canal to Broadway Market and London Fields, or cycle to Victoria Park and enjoy brunch in the pavilion overlooking the lake, or lie in the sun. Shoreditch Park is nearby, with Britannia Leisure Centre and its brand new (2022) pool and sports complex. Shoreditch House is ten minutes walk away. <br /><br />Shoreditch proper begins on the next street from the flat, with its street art, coffee shops and nightlife. Walk down Shoreditch High Street and turn left into Redchurch to browse the boutiques and pick up an espresso at All Press, or an amazing cinammon bun from Jolene. 
I am a freelance English teacher living and working in London. Mostly, I work with teenagers and young adults online, 1-1 on literature and humanities. I especially like working on poetry and plays with them, so if you stay with me you'll see a lot of books on the shelves. I love theatre and am interested in many aspects of culture and politics. I am gay, and have a long-term partner. I welcome guests of all stripes. 

The thing I love most about Shoreditch is the buzzy atmosphere: it is full of vibrancy, colour, different people, locals, visitors, different economic and social groups. It's truly cosmopolitan. I've lived in New York and LA and I've travelled to other great cities, but I always end up thinking that East London is the best. While I love the buzz, I also like to be able to shut the door on it at the end of the day and cook or visit friends for dinner. 

As an Airbnb host, my aim is to make my guests feel at home, by being on hand for friendly chat, or giving them privacy as they prefer. My own room is really big and I spend time with my boyfriend who lives nearby. Often, I'm happy to leave the living room with its dining table and TV to guests of an evening. As an Airbnb guest, I've enjoyed some great conversations with hosts and have also appreciated privacy and discretion and practise this policy myself as a host. 

I work from home these days (since Covid), from my bedroom, so I am likely to be around in the daytime. I visit my local CrossFit gym most days for at least an hour. Sundays, I might be looking for a bargain at Colombia Road flower market, visiting family out of town, or seeing friends for Sunday roast. I appreciate good coffee and can point guests in the direction of the best coffee spots around (of which there are many).  

As well as the guest room, I also list my ENTIRE FLAT for guests who want 2 bedrooms and more privacy. I plan trips away to facilitate this, or stay with my boyfriend, who lives nearby.
