Mattia and Linda's home was a perfect place for us to stay. Our family of four had the house to ourselves and it was equipped with everything we required; we enjoyed cooking there on a few occasions with some delicious ingredients from Ridley Road market (go there for fruit and veg - much cheaper than the supermarket!) and spending some time in the garden having a glass of wine in the sunshine! It's very close to overground stations which link you quickly to the tube into central London, and although we didn't use the bus, you could catch them just on the next street. The area of Dalston and Hackney itself is worth exploring as there are lots of excellent eateries and amazing shops to discover - just wish we had more time to do so! A lovely week - thank you Mattia and Linda for sharing your home.
