Martin's apartment is as cool and clean as a gallery space, with a futuristic bathroom and a very cozy, very quiet bedroom. It's a touch far from the subway -- maybe a 15-minute walk -- but once you're there, you can be anywhere in London in no time. It's also very close to Hackney and the rest of the East End, where there's lots of stuff to eat and buy and look at. Martin himself was very attentive and kind, waiting patiently to receive me when I arrived late and taking his time in showing me around; during the week when he's working in his studio you still feel that the space is private and accommodating. Highly recommended.
