Amazingly spacious, neutral, tastefully decorated room, ample storage for your clothes both to hang and to fold, super-nice-super-big-better-than-hotels en-suite bath & toilet, your own entrance, incredibly close (4 mins) to Hackney Downs over-ground station (which if you do not know is 24 hours connecting to 24 hr Piccadilly line) in a quiet and safe neighbourhood.
Nice old wood flooring (does not shine in your face!), antique study table, lots of lamps, super comfy bed and a high-flow rain-shower. The bathroom has a towel warmer too.
The bed appeared just a tad smaller than queen, a problem only if you are two and both of you are supersized. In hindsight, it must be a queen bed; I am just used to sleeping on larger ones...maybe.
The rest of the house is decorated by Alison in her own style - warm, quirky and super interesting. She is a treasure trove of information and is great to talk to. She is so full of interesting conversations. Another highlight is supersized kitchen with a rustic dining table so supersized that Apostles could have had the last supper on it. Nice backyard with an intriguing studio/shed/party location in the yard. The only down side is that internet can be a little choppy inside the bathroom; not an issue in the guest room though. Guys, I can go on and on. Just book it already!
