Just when we thought we’d seen the coolest bolthole Hackney could deliver, along comes this London gem to put the cat firmly amongst the pigeons. Inside, this place is a glamorous affair with designer furnishings and carefully curated artwork throughout. The free-flowing living room and oh-so-sleek gallery kitchen, complete with a dreamy island to perch with evening drinks, are pure modern-day luxury. And upstairs, the five thoughtfully designed bedrooms with hotel-quality linens and bathrooms are a delight. And the star of the show? That private balcony and a shared rooftop terrace with knockout views of London’s skyline. You can thank us later. Set along a quiet, tree-lined little street, you’d hardly believe the London Fields and Hackney scene is just a stone’s throw away. Follow the hipsters down to the taprooms, cafes, galleries, world-class restaurants, and gorgeous parks – it’s all going on here. Or blaze a trail into central London – you’ll be there in seven minutes flat from the nearby London Fields Overground station. Now, how’s that for a location? Home truths: *You’ll enter the home using a lockbox and keys *This home is on the fourth floor, and the building has a partial lift, so you'll need to climb some stairs, too – there is a caretaker available most hours of the day to assist with luggage if arranged beforehand *Bathroom essentials are provided to help settle you in *The balcony is private, but the rooftop terrace is shared *Given its central location, some noise is to be expected *The kitchen is lacking some basic crockery and cooking utensils, so it might not be the best choice if you're planning family meals in *You won't find a manual or handbook for this home, but your host should be on hand if you have any issues
