This week I stayed at David and Sians woodland cabin--which is exactly what it says it is, and more. Coming from New York City to another big city, I was hoping to find some quiet, and I certainly did. You'll feel like you're in an urban forest, a very comfortable one, at that.

The kitchen is small and perfect for making breakfast. All of the amenities you'd ever need can be found here and the wifi connection is very good--something I really needed, as I'm always working while traveling. At night you can't hear a single sound and in the morning you'll be awoken by the sound of birds chirping just outside the door. Really though--the landscape David and Sian have cultivated on this property is like nothing I've ever seen in an urban environment.

As for the neighborhood: Stoke Newington is one of London's finest residential areas. The cabin is a short walk from a beautiful park and from Stoke Newington Church Street, which plays host to dozens of picturesque boutiques and cafes. If you need to catch the tube, just hop on the bus that stops just across the street and you'll be at Finsbury Park Station in 5 minutes. It's really the best of both worlds if you're looking for relaxing and slightly off-the-beaten-path trip to London.

I visit London fairly often and do hope to stay here again. It was exactly what I was looking for in an Airbnb, I've already started raving about my stay to all of my friends.
