Marta's home (and this is her home, not just some rental that she manages) is a beautiful, architecturally interesting property in a very desirable area of east central London. TL:DR this is a great place for up to two couples with two kids - I highly recommend it. The apartment is spread out over four floors. The basement isn't really useful to guests, and consists mainly of an office. The ground floor has a "bonus room" with a dining room table (but you would never eat there), a bedroom with a queen sized bed ( I think, I always get confused about English bed sizes ), some open closet space, and a Japanese style wet bathroom (i.e. the shower, sink and toilet are all in the same, tiled, space). The first floor (second floor to Americans) has a kid's room with bunked beds; the master bedroom with a king sized bed, large closet (mostly full of the hosts stuff, but she left me a good chunk of hanging space), and en-suite sink and shower (but no toilet); and separate large bathroom with a beautiful tub but no shower. The second floor (third floor to Americans) is the one pictured in the cover photo. It is a single large room, with all glass walls, that includes a living room style sitting area with couches, a beautiful modern kitchen area, and a dining area with six chairs. There is also an outside roof deck with a picnic table and a lounge chair. The house can easily host two couples with one child each, or one couple with two or three children. The kitchen is well equipped, with a gas stove, dish washer, and all the modern amenities. The area, near Old Street Tube, is fantastic in my opinion. To the West along Clerkenwell Road you have a whole bunch of interesting restaurants and bars - and the Farringdon rail station and tube is an easy walk. Busses and cabs run right in front of house on Old Street. The Old Street station on the northern line is a block and a half east, and past that you have all of the night life and funk of Shoreditch and Brick Lane. The only real issue is that the Central Line is a good walk (down to St. Paul's), so if you need to go west towards Oxford Circus or Marble Arch or Notting Hill you really need to take a bus. There is a 24 hour store with food and drinks (including booze) 100 yards down the street. The house is set back from Old street a bit, so it is not as loud as it would be if it were right on the road, but Old Street is a busy road even at night so expect an urban experience (i.e. bring ear plugs if you live in the country!). The hosts instructions were clear and completely self-explanatory, and she sent me checkin instructions well before my arrival. In summary, this is a...
