Anna and David’s place is a dream. It’s a cozy scale, but the space functions super well — we were three adults and two young kids. Incredibly stylish, cozy, family-friendly with just the right smattering of books and mags to peruse, we felt really comfortable right away. Anna sent a list giving us the scoop about all the shops and restaurants along Chatsworth ahead of time and left a few nice basics in the kitchen for our arrival — very thoughtful. We had no idea how much we would love the neighborhood — we really just landed there because we liked the house so much, and had heard good things about Hackney. It turned out to be our absolute ideal urban set up. We had great meals, loved the tiny espresso bar a few blocks down, walked to a charming little yoga studio for classes, took the bus and overland all over London (convenient, but a bit far from center if that’s where you really want to spend time), picked up gifts at the local boutiques, even got a haircut at blue tit (Sandra is great), and on and on. Thanks you guys, you helped make our work / play trip really great.
