I cannot recommend staying with Graham and Carol highly enough. They are the most welcoming and thoughtful hosts. Their house is very tastefully decorated and our room was large and spacious.
Stoke Newington and Hackney are really great neighbourhoods and there is a huge amount of nice restaurants, cafes and bars nearby. We spent a couple of hours in the sunshine at the nearby Broadway Market and London Fields and the atmosphere was really nice and relaxed.
If you want a nice comfortable place to stay in a great area with very kind and welcoming hosts then this is the place for you.
