We loved our long weekend at Lin's family home. It's in a great spot for hip and lively Hackney, and over the road from the lovely Dalston Curve Garden. Two overground stations are within minutes, getting you quickly to central London or Stratford, as are plenty of pubs and restaurants. The home is spacious, which is a rare find for six people in inner London (four adults and two kids), and it has decor and furniture that is a fabulous mixture of modern and rustic. Our children adored their bedroom, especially the castle bed! And Lin was a great host with speedy communication. Highly recommended.
