Home GOALS! Andy's place was an absolute dream - from the moment you step in and see the Basquiat print on the wall and take in the gorgeous mix of old home with a totally modern interior you can tell Andy is a designer (based on all the amazing books and every Vogue feature since the 90s we guessed fashion designer?) Andy's home is definitely full of Quality unique pieces versus quantity and yet has absolutely all the essentials, from a fully stocked gorgeous ultra sophisticated kitchen (with a huge added plus of a skylight!!!) with designer pieces like the Aeropress, blender, kettle, microwave and a US style Kenwood fridge/freezer to smartlights, a regulated heating that you can set, usb plugs (loove that!) google home cast, to cozy bedrooms flooded with light (especially the top room) and hotel style bed linen and pillows and ultra comfortable beds, to a gorgeous huge bathroom with a blend of modern sophistication with touches of rustic.
Style-wise the whole house has been carefully thought through to maximise sunlight and the interior boasts some truly unique design pieces!
Despite the snow and extreme cold we couldn't resist to grab whatever sunshine we could in the outdoor space - again we love what was done to the outdoor area - all painted in white with tall plants reflecting a lot more light and making us feel like we were in Malibu during a rare blizzard! :) We can just see how the outdoor area would be perfect in the summer with the outdoor grill.
The communication was super smooth with Andy's support team all throughout and the easy check in and check out with a lockbox and the super detailed instructions given in airsorted were so excellent - Host GOALS! :)
I had my 11 month old lively baby with me but he was perfectly happy and safe despite the stairs!
The neighborhood of Clapton has a wonderful mix of hip and has a strong cultural vibe too, we love Clapton and Hackney!
Our only regret was having to check-out :( Thank you again to Andy for being soo great!
