I had no idea what a great location this would be. At first I thought we were far out of London, but it takes about 20 minutes or so - overland 2 stops and then one change to the tube. But Dalston itself is buzzing with all manner of restaurants plus some amazing craft beer bars. The house has great amenities - washer, dishwasher, playstation, all kitchen applicances. Of course, this is because it's actually the family home at was a little odd to feel like you were just moving into a stranger's house for the week, with all their stuff in place!! Still, it's a real find in London with a lovely little leafy patio. Elizabeth was very quick to respond to messages and extremely helpful. And if you're travelling as a family with young kids, this place is perfect.
