Julie was such a welcoming and friendly host. Her house was absolutely gorgeous and right off the main road running through hackney so at night it was very quiet. The guest room I stayed in was equally as lovely, with a comfortable double bed, space for your own storage and add ons like a TV. I felt very at home in Julie's house. Her family were also just as lovely and welcoming and I felt I was able to do my own thing in my room or come down and join them for a lovely home cooked meal made by Eric her husband. After a couple of glasses of wine we both got to know each other a little bit more and had a lovely chat. All in all, I really nice stay and if I'm ever in hackney again I will not hesitate to stay with Julie (if she'll have me!)
