This gorgeous flat is ideally situated, just next to London Fields overground which has a fast, efficient service into all stations (3 stops to Liverpool Street station) and was really convenient, while facing directly onto a lovely park. This corner of Hackney is great, with a multitude of upmarket coffee shops etc, lovely individual shops and some great restaurants- we particularly enjoyed the tapas bar! It is also right next to a canal which is great for both walking and cycling to the West End or as we did to the Olympic park.
The flat itself is light, airy and decorated in a really creative and artistic style which we loved. There are 5 of us, including 3 (very large!) teenagers and there was plenty of room for us all. The kids particularly enjoyed the big table football, and we all enjoyed the home cinema. Jo and Jake gave us a very warm welcome, made us feel very much at home, and explained how everything worked, and left us their phone number in case we had any problems (we didn't). This has been our first experience of Airbnb and we were very impressed. I think the large amount of positive feedback they have had says it all - and would definitely stay again!
