The owner was there with the key to let us in and showed us around the house.
The house was just as we had expected from the photos; terrific! It has been renovated to a very high standard and there was nothing that we needed that wasn't already in the house.
Even though the house backs onto the train line to Liverpool Street Station, one gets used to the noise from the trains and the noise is hardly audible when inside the house with the doors closed. At night there are not many trains at all.
Our 18 month old grandson was particularly taken with the trains.
The house is very comfortable, a home away from home.
The neighbourhood is unique: many vintage clothing stores, Indian restaurants, leather shops, the best beigel shop anywhere, Spitalfield Markets, a new Ottolenghi restaurant, great shops, restaurants, pubs and much much more.
An incredibly buzzy part of the world :)
We'd like to thank the owners, Tom & Kiki, for allowing us to stay in their great home.
