Alix's place is the best of Airbnb experience. The room and en-suite bath are like a cosy luxury mini apartment in a really beautiful home (so many gorgeous details, I don't know when she finds the time in her busy life), and a fabulous area with tons to discover. Alix is a top host, really friendly and helpful and she has a wealth of knowledge about life in London. Don't miss a walk through the park around the nearby church where you will see beautiful heritage Victorian homes, treat yourself to a shopping spree in the nearby Burberry factory outlets, watch a film in the Hackney picture house and sample the local food markets and parks (London Fields is a must). These are all a short walk away, but the area is also super well connected to the centre. You will always be happy to return to Alix's beautiful, quiet and comfortable place (great bed), no matter the weather!
