Had an absolutely wonderful stay at Carl and Georgina's home. The room is cozy, quiet, and clean, and the en suite bathroom was a great privilege. Their entire place is beautifully furnished with great light, and it was special to be able to stay in such a historic property (former schoolhouse).
Hackney / Stoke Newington are great neighborhoods and I'm glad I chose to stay in this area. Central London was easily accessible but I felt like I was able to experience things as a local (and I was provided with a great list of recommendations as well). Multiple bus lines are just steps away from the front door, and there are several Overground stations nearby as well.
Carl and Georgina are lovely people and I only wish my trip had been longer so I could've gotten to know them more. Highly recommend booking here if available!
