Cosy room, Hackney, flat overlooks Regents Canal
As a guest you'd have the larger sized double room in the flat, which is in an area surrounded by cafes, markets and parks (not to mention the canal) in the best area of London. (I know I'm biased..but..:))<br />The flat is what estate agents would call 'cozy' (in our normal language - this means it's not a mansion but a compact 2 bedroom flat!). <br />The kitchen isn't big enough to have two people cook at the same time for example.. but it has all the mod cons and ok to cook before or after me :)<br /><br /><b>The space</b><br />Well...the flat is 2nd floor overlooking the canal. It's a 5 minute walk to Victoria Park along the canal, or if you go the other way it's a 5 minute walk to all the cool cafes and restaurants of Broadway Market. I'm really happy living here. <br />Broadway Market has a market every Saturday, selling food and vintage clothes. Around the corner from there is a new york style block market which is open every weekend also.<br />Broadway Market has some really ni
Hackney is very up and coming..buzzing with musicians, artist types...and there's so much going on I hardly need to go into central London for anything! (Apart from work!)<br />I'm very lucky to live here..and to be honest it's a very desirable area to live in.<br />I'm extra lucky because the flat overlooks the canal..and is on the canal tow path which goes to the Olympic Park and to Canary Wharf and the Thames. Victoria Park and the village is just 5 minutes along the canal tow path also. <br />I know I'm biased..but I've lived in London over 20 years and I don't want to ever leave here!
 Well..I'd say I'm a bit quirky (my friends wonder at my humour sometimes haha!) 
Although I'm a friendly soul I do kind of keep to myself at home... Maybe I'm turning into a granny or something (or just tired from client facing work all day ha). 
I absolutely love London, and I get a real pleasure seeing guests check out the area and liking it too  :)
I'm a practising Catholic (don't worry.. My best friend is gay and I don't pass judgement on any one!) and when I'm home I tend to catch up on various projects like sewing or sleeping (my second favorite hobby).
My long term boyfriend is currently in the States so I also spend time chatting to him on the phone :)
I've been an Airbnb host for almost 10 years now (my oh my that went quick!) so I've pretty much seen every type of situation. I also do Airbnb myself so I also know what it's like to be a guest, wanting a nice host, so I hope I fit the bill on that one.
