Hackney is a multi-faceted area of London that has a lot to offer and is also just a short ride from the London Fields overground station to the major attractions and venues of London.
Getting to Jodi's place is pretty straight forward; make your way to Liverpool Street station and then get the overground train to London Fields. From there it's literally a 1-2 minute walk to the apartment. Jodi was there on our arrival, gave us a warm and friendly welcome then showed us around the apartment and, we got to meet wonderful Lulu, such a lovely dog. From there on, unfortunately, we didn't get chance to spend much time with our hosts as we had a very busy schedule within a short time frame to get to see the art exhibitions we'd booked to see.
We had such a lovely time taking walks through the park right in front of the apartment to Broadway Markets; a wonderful street full of great artisanal cafes, book shops and restaurants, as well as strolling further a field towards Bethnal Green which is a totally different experience.
All in all we had a great time, and staying at Jodi's gave us the perfect base to springboard from. Our bedroom was a perfect respite from the arcaneness that is a day out through the heart of London, the bed was super comfy. A very peaceful room to recharge for the next day and the shower was great too.
We did thankfully manage to spend an hour or so with Jodi and her partner Johnny just before we checked-out, a lovely finale to our stay in a great old Victorian School conversion with the beautiful, vibrant London Fields park out in front to boot.
A great place to stay in London, quirky, creative and warm-hearted. Most certainly a recommendation from us and hopefully a revisit in the not-too-distant future. Many thanks Jodi, Johnny and Lulu for having us around at your place!
