The folks at Casa de Nicki are fantastic. The location is perfect. It is right on Regents Canal, a stones through from Haggerston Station, and an easy walk to Liverpool Street Station or the life in Shoreditch.

Nicky has been able to weave the fabulous character of London from nick-nacks she picks up along the way, while trudging the city. Nicky your design ability is superb: you have a gift!

The people who Nicky shares her life with only add to the magic of her place. Deep conversations, El's scrumptious cooking, respect and a sense of always being welcome.

I will only be staying at Nix when I am in London.

(now thinking about it, I should have given her a bad write up –argh.)
