Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
The feeling of staying in this home which has been so well cared for is truly unbeatable. Balancing modernity with historical pieces is often hard to get right, but not in this home. The space has been newly renovated, but many repurposed materials have been included wherever possible, such as the coffee table made from the parquet flooring of another room. There's attention to detail at every turn, with an array of books, art and objects that act as a windows into the stories that have created the home. If you're a larger group of five or six, take a look at The Costas Siblings.

Home truths
This home is on the second and third floors of the building, so there are a lot of stairs to climb, and no lift available
The washing machine is in the master bedroom
There's no curtains on the living room windows, which means there's plenty of light during the day time, but it may lack a cosier feel in the evenings
Some of the kitchen appliances and cooking utensils could do with an update
You'll likely need some extra towels here
Just a note that the underfloor heating is in the bathrooms
Your host can provide fans upon request
This home isn't exactly central but is great if you're looking to live amongst the locals

Local guide
About Hackney
Hackney – the name of this neighbourhood is now more likely to evoke the image of a hipster on a bicycle with a sourdough loaf stuffed in their satchel rather than anything else. Filled with great independent restaurants, cafes and pubs, this part of town is a delight to explore. The green expanses of London Fields and Victoria Park are pretty unbeatable on a summer's day and be sure to check out Broadway Market and Victoria Park Village too, where you'll wander through leafy streets of period houses, and rub shoulders with London's hip young arts and media types.

Watch beans roasting as you sip your coffee at Allpress
This big cafe attracts the local hipsters. No wonder, it is one of the best roasters in London. If you are addicted to your flat white and milky comforters, just stop by.
Roam the Dalston Eastern Curve Garden
This is a precious city farm with programmes for every age, a contagious care for nature and a relaxing vibe fill this place, along with growing veggies and plants.
Soak up the sun at Hackney Downs
One of Hackney's major green spaces, it has been open to the public since 1884. It's a perfect spot to soak up the sun with the family.
Dance through the night at the Shacklewell Arms
This tiny pub's back room is an atmospheric place to see exciting young American bands on their way up (and to devour all kinds of burgers and hot dogs).
Visit Abney Park Cemetery
This unique labyrinth of graves rests in a botanical garden with a very tropical vibe. Beautiful and spooky for sure.
Dine at My Neighbours the Dumplings
Highly recommended by your host, this family-run dumpling restaurant follows the dim sum tradition of small plates cooked to perfection.
Have Breakfast at Violet Bakehouse
Tucked away off Wilton Way is a totally unsuspecting building that is home to one of the best bakeries in east London. This all-female run business is the perfect spot to grab a croissant & coffee.
Enjoy Avant-Garde Music at Cafe OTO
A vibrant cafe by day and a hub for avant-garde music performances by night. With a cozy atmosphere, diverse music lineup, and a well-stocked bookshop and record store, Cafe OTO is a must-visit for alternative music fans.
