Stylish Haven in Heart of Stoke Newington.
My wife is an interior designer and we took great care in making our home stylish but also very comfortable and relaxing. There's a wood-burning stove in the sitting room; wooden floors and warming colours.<br /><br />The room is at the back of the house (next to the bathroom) away from the main living area, so is really quite private (and quiet).<br /><br /><b>The space</b><br />We're a 3 minute walk directly off Stoke Newington Church Street.  Our street is very peaceful and quiet at night.<br /><br /><b>Guest access</b><br />You will have full access to the apartment (with the sole exception of our own bedroom).<br /><br />There is parking immediately outside the house, however it isn't free.  We can provide you with permits (they cost £3.50 per day, this is a charge from the local government).  Alternatively, there is free parking at the end of our road (2 minute walk from our front door).
Stoke Newington is a vibrant yet relaxed area - one of London's nicest, most interesting neighborhoods.  It has the feel of a village (albeit a very 'hip' one) where the character is carefully protected from the growing samey-ness of most British high streets.  All of the shops (with one exception - 'Whole Foods') are independently run by people who care about what they do.<br />There's a fantastic green grocers, where you can get virtually anything you could imagine.  There's a top notch baker and butcher along with newsagents, coffee shops, restaurants and pretty much anything else you're likely to want or need.  <br />You'll be right beside Clissold Park (a lovely public park, with duck ponds, deer and an aviary) and close to Dalston, Shoreditch, Islington and Liverpool Street.<br /><br />PS:  Daniel Defoe (Robinson Crusoe) and Edgar Allen Poe both went to school on Stoke Newington Church Street, although not at the same time...
I work in music and my wife runs her own interior design business.  We've lived here for eight years and absolutely love it.  We lead busy work and social lives but enjoy cooking/generally relaxing there when we can.  We very much like other people to enjoy it too.  We're happy to share our tips on the locale (or the wider city) and to be as much help as we can.  We also respect our guests personal space and strive to make them feel that they are themselves, at home.
