This is a soulful space for those after a more alternative place to stay when they're visiting the UK's capital. Part of a converted former piano factory, the interior is instantly uplifting thanks to the array of bold modern artwork, statement wallpaper and house plants dotted about. You can tell it's been put together by somebody with an artistic disposition. It's up on the second floor with views from the Juliet balconies over the rooftops of Stoke Newington, a quiet neighbourhood with a great village vibe. If you want to explore, the host has left their Dutch bike and guests are free to borrow it. Alternatively, you can rent her car, which is parked in the on-site car park. Clissold Park is only two minutes' walk up the road and is home to a small deer farm. Likewise, Church Street takes only six minutes to reach on foot and offers cosy restaurants, traditional boozers and vintage shops.

About Stoke Newington

Stoke Newington (or 'Stokey' as it is affectionately called by its residents) is a very popular village-like part of town wedged between Finsbury Park, Islington and Dalston. You'll mainly be rubbing shoulders with young artsy families, who are attracted to the area by its distinctive community atmosphere, period townhouses, and great array of independent shops, cafes, and restaurants - we're pretty confident you won't be short of great brunch and coffee stop-offs in this area.
