Candida's home and family were full of charm. Clean and cozy, in a great area and very safe area of Hackney. We were thrilled with the nearby Adventure Playground, great local coffee shop recommended by Candida, and the proximity to food and transport. Our room was clean as could be, felt super private with an en suite bathroom, and had everything we needed. I loved opening the skylight in the bathroom and bedroom to see the stars and breathe in the fresh air. As a side note, we took a chance being the first guests and not seeing reviews just yet; I'm already thinking to maybe come to their place again next year when we return, so it was obviously a good place to be! Highly recommended for small families or individuals who are understanding and respectful of being welcomed into a family's home!
